I have a SqueezeBox 2, and I'm about to order, right at this very minute, a SB3, but...
this question keeps coming into my head. Why buy a SqueezeBox? A PC or some other type of system is needed to run SlimServer. Okay, but... You then need either a) Softsqueeze, or b) an actual hardware SqueezeBox to play your music. Now assume a motherboard/mainboard that has an on-board digital co-ax or SP/DIF output; can't the Softsqueeze player output via this to an amplifier with digital in, so negating the need for an actual SqueezeBox? Why pay $250+ for an SB? Isn't this overkill? Now if I want to send the same music to different locations then can't a PC be set-up running SoftSqueeze in each location, utilizing the on-board SP/DIF output for digital quality audio? Please someone give me the reason why I need to purchase another actual SqueezeBox hardware unit. BTW the need to have a motherboard/ram/powersupply at each location I want music in is irrelevant, and let's say I can get these at roughly equivalent cost to the SB3. And let's assume I can hide away these components behind the walls/in a cupboard so no case/enclosure needed... Discuss. Any help on this would be extremely grateful. -- CavesOfTQLT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CavesOfTQLT's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=263 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19342 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
