Hi, I'm looking for some advice/help deciding solution for next SB player.
I'm trying to use my old (long collecting dust) active speakers (Behringer MS40 "monitors") in conservatory. Due to covid-19 situation I'm looking at best budget option I had a go at old Xperia Z1 Compact smartphone with Squeezeplayer and Tasker, but I'm unable to get sync with other players (SB Touch and SB Radio). Also as phone isn't rooted (+locked bootloader) and without functional touchscreen, android " Loud volume warning" is real pain. I'm not sure if I can root it without touchscreen and wouldn't want to brick it as it works perfectly as Dashcam with HW buttons/tasker. I actually have Raspberry Pi 3 B with OSMC/KODI sitting in Lounge next to SB touch. I could perhaps get DAC hat for raspi to use it instead of Touch then re-purpose SB Touch in conservatory. But: Which HAT to buy? Is there any cheap decent one? Would I get real sync with raspi/squeezelite alongside KODI on OSMC? Does it matter OSMC runs with VPN? Would SB touch be ok sitting in conservatory which at times can be bit like green house. I know I live in UK, but on sunny summer day it can get there 35-40C if I forget to open windows. I'm also considering 2nd hand devices. It would be nice to get another SB Touch, but probably not possible for less then £80-100. Maybe " Duet receiver" which seem to be bit cheaper, however I don't have any experience with it. Would legacy devices sync properly with Touch/Radio? Any drawback using them in 2020? SqueezeAMP is probably overkill with MS40/ conservatory and not that cheap with shipping to UK.. Decisions Decisions Decisions :D anyway that's my current LMS dilemma :confused: Any advice/suggestions much appreciated Thanks! 3x Squeezebox Touch, 3x Squeezebox Radio, SqueezeCommander, Material Skin Apk, Squeezelite-X, Logitech Media Server Version: 8.0.0 with Material Skin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jaca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58187 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112672
