Well for me the question is not 'what will your next system be' but 'what will your first system be'?
I had been planning on setting up a system with a couple of Squeezebox Touches, and getting a secondhand Mac Mini to run LMS on. That's after previously considering a Sonos setup but disliking the price and the lack of UI on the Sonos kit. Now I'm wondering about either: - Airport Expresses instead of the Squeezebox Touches, and one or two iPod touches with the Apple Remote app to control playback from iTunes on the Mini or - iPod touches running iPeng and sitting more-or-less permanently in docks, playing from LMS on the Mini Right now there are refurb iPod Touches on the UK Apple Store for £129, so the combo of Airport Express + iPod, or iPod + (say) Pure i20 dock, is about the same price as the Squeezebox Touch. Im not bothered about online streaming services except iPlayer, and I can do that with the app on the iPod. My music library is going to be in ALAC and I'm not worried about anything other than 16/44.1kHz files. I can see pluses and minuses to both my options above compared to the Squeezebox Touch plan, but how will they compare for synchronisation, and is the quality of the Airport Express audio out significantly worse than the Squeezebox Touch? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nekomatic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96191
