Sane Streamers... Sounds like the name of a punk rock band.

There are some relatively sane streamers for the roon ecosystem .
The sonic orbiter SE is actually one of them , but I think there are
some raspi based solutions with great value too .
And you can use your squeezeboxes too .
I hope ROON gets more sane when more people uses purpose built
If you read those threads not everyone is in that camp (and are of
course shouted down/ dismissed by those in the camp) and the developers,
thankfully, don't fuel the nut brigade. I suspect many are active on CA
forums and swallow the nonsense wholesale.

Yes, the numerous posts at the Roon forum
These products goes like hot cakes in the ROON crowd .
They believe all audiophile claims and are used to Meridian and Ayre
price levels and are not as pesky as some of us squeezebox user that
want such claims substantiated ?

... is nower days not a lot. My cheap Odroid U3 has a 1.7 GHz quadcore
arm-cpu and 2 GB of Ram, so by this specification your device is no
rocket, but more like a bicycle. But I see the work for making and
modding the software. So no offense, just want to point out that the
hardware-specs alone

No I always leave room for future expansion. Plus if you do re-sampling
etc using squeezelite it will use more CPU.

Excellent ! Then the transcoding apps will run fine too.

This unit has a dual core 1GZ CPU that is 20x more powerful then the
Touch CPU and much more
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I think this is a good thing
and I wish it all the success in the world.
I certainly don't think it is excessively priced, considering the
quality of the hardware you're getting and broad support of streaming
protocols.

That is
Once again the answer from me is the pi2 can do it so I'd expect this to
be the case with this more powerful device...but as others have said if
all you want is lms and a player then the pi with dac would be more cost
effective. ..but this does seem to offer more than that.
I do know that others

Max2play is very close to a plug in and play solution as it gets.
Put it on an sd card (this the most tech part ) then go to the
192.xxx.x.x UI and install what you want.
You should give it a try...for me wifi was a pain so I stuck with wire.
Loads of support on the thread max2play on this site
Yes , but it's good that we have so many options to actually get ourself
a player if needed .
A completely fabricated one like this is one option , the form factor is
good for hiding away in the hifi rig

I think you can't compare that.
ChromeCast is a passive player which requires you to run a lot of
emulation on th server side and even then doesn't fully support all
Squeezebox features like synchronization with other players.
If you get it to run at all (never had the luck on any of my servers).

That's a CuBox-i, running Vortexbox?
Our new Sonicorbiter SE can replace an existing Squeezebox. It runs
squeezelite and you can attach a USB DAC to it. So you can use it with
your existing VortexBox or microJukebox.
But it does a lot more.
