Im not an audiophile and I always try (except rare cases) to not enter debates on that topic. So IMHO, SB3 is a perfectly good device. You can use its spdif output as well. Regarding server, I highly recommend using a Pi. Its small, silent, power-efficient. You can use the dedicated PiCore or just use their Debian (raspberry pi OS...) if you want to have a plain Linux system). Its as easy to setup as copying a SD card, doing a wget of LMS then a dpkg of the downloaded file LMS 7.9 on Pi 3B+ & Odroid-C2 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB3. Sonos PLAY:3, PLAY:5, Marantz NR1603, Foobar2000, ShairPortW, JRiver 21, 2xChromecast Audio, Chromecast v1 and v2, Squeezelite on Pi, Yamaha WX-010, AppleTV 4, Airport Express, GGMM E5, Riva 1 & 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philippe_44's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113244
