Like others, I'm not sure I fully understand your desired topology, but FWIW, here are some of my experiences:
- I have tested a setup using a guruplug server plus with a USB hard drive where both the guruplug and multiple players were connected wirelessly to a Linksys router. I was able to reliably stream FLAC to multiple players. YMMV depending on the layout of your home and the placement of your players. With that said, I use (and would recommend) a setup where a sheevaplug is wired to the router and all players are wireless. - The small size of the plug makes it easy to collocate with the router and wire it. - I see no reason for the added expense of either the guruplug or an eSATA drive. - If you are new to Linux, you can use the squeezeplug installer. - There are fewer reports of heat issues with the sheevaplug than the guruplug and they seem to have been addressed sooner. I have no experience with the soundcheck recommendations. Personally, I assume that their setup really does provide measurable improvements. I also assume that the quality of both my ears and the rest of my equipment will never allow me to hear such a difference. -- Mark Miksis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Miksis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=529 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81245 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
