Still I have to try with the tablet of my choice. As I understand some of Stefan's earlier post in this thread it depends on the hardware and probably the Android version how well synchronisation to the other players works.
I haven't quite made up my mind what tablet I want to use for this. Initially the idea was to try with any of these dirt cheap ones which are now available from about 60 Euros. That would probably be the cheapest Squeezebox ever (if we disregard the raspberry pi, which I don't consider a ready-to-use consumer product). In my opinion, if the tablet has nothing else to do but reproducing audio, then even an outdated, slow unit should be good enough for the job. Or does anyone disagree? Anyway, lately I wonder if it wouldn't be better to spend 200 Euros on a Nexus 7 which is pretty much state-of-the-art and should offer the option to upgrade with an external USB DAC (at least in theory, so far it seems nobody really tried this) if the analog output doesn't sound good (as somebody from a German HiFi forum wrote). Any thoughts on this, anyone, please? Also one specific question (Stefan?) - would a USB to TOSlink converter such as this one: http://www.inline-info.de/art/de/89909D/InLineAudioKonverter%2CEingangUSB%2CAusgangOptoToslinkundKlinke%2Cschwarz.html fall into that same "USB Dacs/USB audio" device category which should be supported in JellyBean? Because I already have one of these. For windows, it works without requiring any driver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57771 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87364 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
