I think I want something like this too. I could build it now with an SB3, T-Amp, and speakers (and ideally, a salvaged vintage boombox), but can't figure out how to do it for less than $400-$500. What would be the price point for such a box? I guess you could get the price down by ditching the VFD display (probably would want to for battery life too), and perhaps using some cheaper components (but Slim has a rep to uphold).
It also would work anywhere you can get a Wi-Fi signal if you have access to your SlimServer (perhaps a firmware mod to support SSH tunneling will be necessary?) bklaas;136208 Wrote: > I think comparing the Squeezeboombox idea (which has been discussed > dozens of times on this forum) to an iPod is apples-to-oranges. > > My dream goes something like this: > > wireless SB3 hardware > T-Ampish kind of thing to drive the speakers > Speakers of reasonable but affordable quality > One electrical cord to power it > Ability to run on batteries (9 Ds, I don't care, just cut the cord) > A case for it all > > there'd be a headphone jack, but that's not it's primary purpose.
