The sync code was completely overhauled in SC 7.2 or 7.3, and now it is very robust. Older versions of SC and slimserver (what SC was called before 7.0) were not as good, which is why you may find complaints (including some by me) if you do a search in these forums and elsewhere.
Sync of software players like SoftSqueeze, SqueezePlay, and squeezeslave is still hit or miss, because of latencies that SC can't control. This also applies to streaming to the Duet Controller, which is considered a software player because it uses SqueezePlay to emulate a player. I think the old approach of home-run speaker wires to a centralized amp is on the wane, to be replaced by cat5e or cat6 and networked players. Not this year or next, but some time in the next few years. And your friend is very smart to do it wired instead of depending on wireless. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.
