@PasTim I think CCA can augment LMS in two different ways:
1) is like Philippe_44 said above. It's a cheap, maintenance free Player for LMS, and if the Cast protocol takes off (which seems likely right now) it can expand LMS Player territory beyond thr DIY crowd. You can pick up speakers from LG, Denon, Sony or others and they'll all work with the same protocol. CCA itself can connect to any active speakers, amp or DAC, so it's pretty versatile, and it consts A LOT less than Sonos Connect and similar systems... 2) is even better...because LMS is really great at handling local media, stuff you have on network storage somewhere, however, support for Streaming Services is failing. New services won't be included, and new features of existing ones often don't get added either. So, for local media LMS can augment CCA (since the focus there is clearly on streaming) and CCA can augment LMS by giving you support for streaming services, right from their respective apps. Deezer, Spotify, TuneIn, Rdio, Play Music, Qobuz etc... They are already onboard, and others will surely follow. I hope that helps you understand the "buzz" this drvice created... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CommanderROR's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59408 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
