Thanks for the correction... I did of course mean SBR.

You do have to have at least one wired device in the system (Zone
Bridge or any player)but in the Squeezebox system you will need a 1 or
more WAPs or wireless routers. And if you do have more than one good
luck getting your SBC to roam between them reliably.

I'm pretty sure you can use a ZP90 just fine without a controller if
you access it from the PC GUI interface.

Agree on the display point, which is why I went with SB in the first
place. I just think the price argument is somewhat exaggerated.
