We want to be sure we have a reasonable finished product before we launch so we don't want to be more specific than this at the moment.
Also, the fact that we are only doing software makes it possible for us to support multiple hardware vendors, which is very different compared to the Olive One architecture which as far as I've understood is locked into the single Olive One hardware device they are currently working on. In our vision, you would be able to get high end hardware for the main listening room from your HiFi manufacturer and low end hardware for the kitchen and bedroom from your favorite mass market manufacturer and as long as they all support the ickStream platform you will be able to use them all in the same system and even bring the system with you on your smart phone or tablet when you leave the home. Who knows, if Olive One are really open they might even consider supporting ickStream on their hardware in the future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98467 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
