I have been following the olive story and it does look promising and it looks like the crowd funding is paying off as they well moved passed their initial target and could end up with over 1M once it is completed.
Given my squeezeboxes are still all functioning well, I am in no hurry to replace them today. In reviewing the olive one I see it would do everything I want and remove the need for a server. That I would like plus a nice large interface on the device which would be great for the wife and the support for internal amps. So I can see some upside over my multi room squeeze box deployment today. The problem I see is with costs. I had done up a cost schedule to see what it would be like if I had to replace my squeeze box setup with a sonos solution. It was to say the least not a pleasent experiance. From what I see with the oliveone it will not be that great as well. I have receivers, booms and classics. At approx 400.00+ per it would be thousands to replace my current setup. I can see why people are snapping up spare Squeezeboxes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ froth's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11878 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97599 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
