From my limited experience with 5 units, I would say there's a practical limit because 1 bad device can mess up the whole chain, and in the absence of looking at the logs there's no easy way to know which one it is. Synced streaming from the library is pretty bullet proof, the only problem I

As stated by others there is no fixed limit. I think i remember someone having something like 30 sb3's in guesthouse, hotel or something like that. But I don't remember the details, and certainly they wont all play at the same time. Certainly at least 10-15 players is feasible:

The server can handle as many as you want, the limit you will run into is wireless bandwidth (or ethernet bandwidth). Just do the math on what you want to stream and work out how much bandwidth you will need. -- andyg

I suspect that playing a different 24bit 96kHz flac file for each duet or SB3 would stress the server is has to run SOX transcoding to each player. But a bunch of unsynced players playing mp3 files or web radio? that could be a large buch of players indeed. I can see the motel room radio

I have had 2 duet receivers, 2 duet controllers, 1 SB3, and 3 SqueezeSlaves (2 on the server and one on my laptop) all playing different mp3's simultaneously without issue. The server is about 6 years old and has a 2.6GHz P4 Northwood (1 core, no hyperthreading) with 1.5Gb Ram and a 500Gb IDE

In addition to the server's capacity, it also matters (a) the network bandwidth, and (b) what types of files are being streamed. I have seen one member of these forums (upstatemike, I believe) who has something like 16 SBs on his network. I have 8 SBs, but only had them all on at the same time
