I had an Olive 4 with the Melody 2 player, but became dissatisfied with their closed, proprietary approach (even though it is largely Linux based). I looked into DLNA, but find the "standards" to be weak, and hence compatibility and interoperability suffers. I could never get any of my supposedly DLNA compatible gear and software to play nice together to my satisfaction. I had an SB3 before the Olive, so I was familiar with the Squeezebox approach. The added capabilities of the Touch and Radios was just icing for the cake. I have never listened to so much of my own music library in the house since buying the Touches and Radios. A Touch with a DacMagic was a good replacement for the Olive 4 on my 2 channel system. I realized the Squeezebox is not the best option for everyone. I've been building my own computers for over 15 years, so some of the software and hardware "challenges" don't bother me. Overall I'm really happy with my system, and would be at a loss as to what to replace it with if the product line and support faded away. -- vrette (3) SB Touch, (3) SB Radio, Cambridge Audio 840AV2, 340T, DacMagic, B&W 683, HSU VFT2-MK3, Logitech Harmony 880, 7.5 on Asus E35M1-M PRO Win7 64 bit , and a bunch of other stuff... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrette's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15256 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88916 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
