Sonos would be a lateral move to a new ecosystem. A RasPi would be a deeper dive, potentially satisfying though perhaps a bit of a time-sink. But what about an upgrade to separate components? Like a small outboard DAC attached to somewhat "turnkey" solutions like the Sonore ultraRendu (a headless player with Squeezelite) or a Small Green Computer product (headless LMS servers and/or Squeezelite players). I have two Touch boxes, an ultraRendu, and a microJukebox, as well as Squeezelite-X on a desktop PC. I'll keep buying Touches as long as they're reasonably clean and reasonably priced on eBay, but at at some point I'll either build or upgrade. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ left channel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67918 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108823 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
