I have a hybrid system: 1. Main music listening system (with Transporter feeding preamp/amp/speakers) 2. Home Theater system (with TOUCH feeding AV System via S/PDIF coax to DAC of AV system.) 3. Boom (bedroom bedside) 4. "Whole house distributed systems with speaker wire runs back to central location": TOUCH feeding small preamp/amp. Amp feeds speaker switch box that feeds ceiling speakers in (i) Bathroom, (ii) Kitchen (iii) dining room (also have a SB RADIO in wife's closet....didn't think about needing sound in there or would have added Speakers, but she spends a lot of time in there in the morning and wants to hear morning radio shows in there). Distributed system Touch and RADIO are always synched
So I can listen to the same thing in Kitchen, bath, dining room, closet via the distributed system (morning radio listening). I can separately listen to my main stereo system or music through my AV system or bedside Boom. And I can have everything synched (and with all hardware players, the synch is rock solid perfect. I can stand in the middle of one space where I hear my main stereo, the AV system and the dining room and bathroom system and all is perfectly lined up. Hardware SB players are known to synch better than "software" SB players (although supposedly the latter has gotten much better). All this is served by a single server with all my music that runs 24/7 (6TB vortexbox appliance). I can control all this from various controllers (iphones, ipad, Squeezeplay on laptop, SB CONTROLLER, TOUCH or Radio itself, and of course Boom controls itself from front panel) . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98282 _______________________________________________ diy mailing list diy@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/diy
