Hello all, I tend towards the SB type open source model, I like it. The Sonos looks attractive but I'm not sure I need to spend that $, plus the plugins for the SB definitey looking appealing. After reading a bunch of the forum today I have a few questions before I pull the trigger on a Duet.
1) I have a large house. If I have 4-5 receivers running will streamed music be synchronized across multiple rooms? (useful for party hosting situations) I've seen numerous answers on this and would like one definite answer. The things I can see streaming are local mp3s/FLAC, Shoutcast internet radio streams, and sirius radio (canada). From what I gather it may be able to have some types of streams synced and others not? Obviously some rooms will be able to hear the music from other rooms so synchronization is VERY important. 2) How many different streams can be going at once? Is the limit simply bandwidth? How is what is playing on each receiver set? Does the remote know about each receiver and you set the music on each that way? 3) I've seen hints that it cannot stream Sirius Canada streams, this would be a shame. True? 4) Any chance the remote headphone jack will be usable one day? It would be handy to toss the remote in my jacket and use it while out working in the yard. Or line out from the remote into a portable "boom box" that I could place at rendom locations where-ever I was. Thanks for any advice. I'm excited to order one once I finish my research. I'm conversant in perl among other things so I'm also looking forward to poking around at some development :) Cheers -- BrockStone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BrockStone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16497 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45556 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
