I thought I'd jump in on this thread because my more or less antique
Squeezebox 2 just died, which was my only Squeeze product, and I've
loved it well. I've been running the server off a QNAP NAS drive that
the SB accesses by WiFi. The SB connects to my amp via a DAC connected
by an optical cable.  I don't see the point of buying a SB from EBay,
when the product is dead. I looked at the Raspberry Pi, but the problem
there is that I need to put together the basic board, WiFi and add
another board from a 3rd party to get an optical out.  That's no longer
dirt cheap and is more complicated than I'd prefer. Googling around I
found the CUBOX, which seems as if it might offer something more like a
right-out-of-the box solution.
(http://www.solid-run.com/products/cubox-i-mini-computer/). They say it
will run LMS, which would probably be faster than having the server
running on the NAS, which is pretty low power and it can also act as a
video server.  I searched the forums here for discussion of the CUBOX
but didn't find anything.  Anyone have any opinions on it, or on other
options to replace the SB?  Thanks.
