Funny thing, I was just talking to an audiophile who owned a Squeezebox and returned after several weeks because the digital output STILL swaps channels on a frequent basis. This is a known and still unaddressed bug (correct me if I'm wrong). Can't imagine any audiophile could live with it.
I own three SBs, but would jump on another product that was similarly priced and with remote controllability and played flac and MP3 and had decent customer support. And buy that, I don't mean just a good user forum. I've actually seen SlimServer's quality go DOWN over the past year or so. Regression testing and stability have gone out the window in favor of adding every feature conceivable. I obviously more fun to code new features than do regression testing and refactoring to make a more stable and user friendly product, but SB is a commercial product and a certain minimum level of functionality needs to be maintained. It would be nice if Slim would decide what that is and then guarantee their products to that level by regression testing every Server and Firmware release. The correct orientation of channels on the digital out should be on that list. And replying to these issues with "It's open source, shut up and contribute" doesn't wash. I paid good money for the product and it should function consistently. If I'd paid nothing, I'd have nothing to bitch about. All IMO of course, -bill _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
