Not a lot different to running SB Player on an Amazon Fire TV which is also a compromise - it won't sync and may not be able to play above 24/48. The Chromecast is 24/96 but at present that looks as if it will only sync with another Chromecast. The Sonic Orbiter's real competitor is a Raspberry Pi with HAT DAC which in UK would cost around £65 in total on a self build basis. Yes the Pi's Ethernet & USB share the same BUS so if that bothers you then the Sonic Orbiter is an option. NB In UK Vortexbox.co.uk sell a pre-built Pi player at £125 - http://www.vortexbox.co.uk/NetDAC_High_Quality_Remote_Player/p317978_13340983.aspx *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B&W P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104962
