now have a great set up. Music files ripped to flac on pc, squeezebox hard wired ethernet connection to moon audio amp and sonus faber speakers. Sounds brilliant (dacmagic to follow). Set a batch file up that converts three squeezecentre HTML address's (Now playing, Album review and Biography)to jpeg on rotation. This jpeg file is accesed by Imate momento. So as music is played on squeezebox (controlled by laptop in living room,which uses the squeezecentre to control the remote PC music files), the Now playing screen, Album review and biography are played in sequence, refreshed every ten seconds (can be set longer), looks cool!!!
So once i have my IPod Touch from Santa i can forgo the laptop in living room (toyed with the idea of one of the mini laptops, but got a good deal on a Touch but am not allowed to have it till Xmas) i will have a very good and cool setup and at a bargain price too. £99 squeezebox receiver, £50 Imate Momento (this is an ace device, so many uses ; framechannel is brilliant) £190 32Gb ipod touch So impressed with the sound from the Squeezebox as previously i was using three Phillips devices (the little SLA 5200) through the house using mp3/wma on a Buffalo homeserver but not good enough quality when used in main listening room. The sound is so good i wonder how much better it will be through the dacmagic. interestingly the new moon cd3.3 player has a seperate input to use its built in Dac and the new moon ampi3.3 has the option for a built in dac , phono input and balanced inputs. The Next Squeezebox development should be the ability to handle the Master Flac files and then it would really wipe the floor of the competion. Ps audio are about to launch a cd player that rips the music to flac using EAC and replays the music from memory rather than from the disc, nice but expensive. -- c3p0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ c3p0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20721 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53722
