I don;t know the details of the oppo interface but usually DLNA rnabled players use soemthing like TWONKY media to achieve the purpose (I used to run this on a PS3 when I first started gtting interested inn digital music streaming).
Compared to the squeezeboxes (any of them) the interfaces tend to be basic and rether difficult. You have few or none of the search options or access to the wealth of options a well organised and tagged library can offer. There is patc hy support of streaming services such as Napster/last fm etc etc which you will definitely miss not having. Finally you may need your power hungry tv on to listen to music unless thre is an interface on the oppo facepanel that is usable (most aren't). The novelty of that soon wore off for me, though cover art can be pretty to display there are ways of doing this with squeeze box - and with a touch or duo it is very well done. The squeezebox line and the plugins that come along with it really do set themselves above anything I know of that is DLNA. You can always use this in addition to your squeezeboxes as it accesses the same files. The DAC in the oppo will be pretty godd - but what I hear about the touch is that it is unlikely to be beaten and especially as it can (when avaialble) decode at higher resolutions the audio will be superior. So no comparison - but this is a squeezebox forum ..... -- linvale Squeezcenter running on ACER R1600 Windows XP Fileserver ReadyNAS Duo Main Listening Transporter / Controller Kitchen : SB3 Bedroom : Boom Bath : SBRadio Study: Duo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ linvale's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22828 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76529 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
