My primary reason for not switching is that I want an AirPlay option, and Squeezelite + Shairtunes plugin works for that.
Secondary reason is cost. Even though they are only $30-ish, I have 8 zones running that only cost $7/each for USB soundcards. That's $56 I won't get back, plus the $240 for chromecast audios. I must say, sync is awful with squeezelite, so I don't even use it. I have two zones that are next to each other, so I just won't use them both at once. On the other hand, my setup is irritatingly unstable. Dedicated hardware that people say works perfectly sounds pretty nice for $240 (compared to Sonos). For the airplay requirement, I could always get the $20 airplay receivers on amazon and use a splitter with the chromecast audio. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dangerusty's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=54208 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106113 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
