Now that Slim Devices is selling the SBR individually, I am tempted to purchase one and use it without a SBC. I am unsure if I understand all of the factors that are in play with doing that but I know that setup of the SBR is critical as that is one of the functions that the SBC performs. My current environment consists of a single SB3, operating on a wired connection. My intent is to use a laptop computer to control the SBR, connected either wired or wireless, or to have the SB3 and SBR operating in sync and using the SB3 remote to control playback.
Here are the questions I think I need to get answered in order to make an informed decision; 1. Is Robin's tool necessary to setup the SBR when I don't have a SBC or if I attach a SBR, out of the box, to my wired network, that uses DHCP, will an IP address be issued and will I then be able to use SC to complete any other SBR setup required i.e. I don't need to use Robin's tool? 2. Once the SBR is communicating with SC I assume I will be able to use SC to control playback through the SBR. 3. Can the SB3, and remote, control the synchronized playback with the SBR? Please feel free to provide any additional information that I need to know about what I am trying to do.
