And my answer is: it depends on the driver, not on the hardware. If the driver is able to sync the output on the DAC side, it will work. Me are not talking about synchronization in microsecond levels, the maximum allowed delay is 10ms and as soon as the delay is constant, it can be even much longe

But the biggest impact on timing is actually in the driver, isn't it? If it dynamically buffers and you get an unpredictable delay between queuing up samples and the time they are actually being played, you've got no chance to stay in sync while a driver with a small internal buffer playing out im

Sync depends on the player h/w having an accurate RTC clock. LMS makes sync decisions based on the clock values return by player. Have you tried adjusting the sync params for the player in the LMS Settings/Player/Synchronize page and also looking at the LMS log to see why LMS is making adjustmen

it seems there already are quite a few projects on the way to help compensate for the lack of squeezebox compatible hardware since logitech decided to cancel the product line, but either the replacement hardware is scarce and hard to come by (pogoplug) or the price seems to be quite on the high si
