The core of a lot of posts that seem to come up, and this one is perhaps in keeping with that, is that there should be some form of device that plugs into existing systems be it an iPOD or existing hifi etc. Then we get into discussions about the limitations, not many people have them, limited size, others do it better/faster etc.
Whilst it would still need the SC in its current form the ideal device would seem to be a small wifi capable embedded device that could act as an audio input. This then only needs to support a limited webserver/streaming protocol and you can satisfy most of what many people want. You could have it support analogue or digital inputs and it would still be in the 'Slim' client mould. Mmmm almost a receiver but backwards. The Squeezeboxes could then attach to it as they do any other steaming source. Sorts out plugging in iPods or any other portable player, CD players, distributing (non synchronised) TV sound, DAB radios, satellite radios etc I guess Sean would want their usual excellent sound quality so it would probably cost about the same as a receiver. -- Zaragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58010 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
