It would be interesting to see how sync works with 2 identical devices.

I got one of these Sabrent WF-RADU devices. Incredible price, quality
build, nice embedded web frontend (!!!), chimes into the speaker when
the network is up. I have installed, very easily, the latest firmware,
v2.0.7

ONE problem: it doesn't sync with the other regular (shall I say
licensed?) Airplay devices I have. 
I have connected it to my TDK soundcube, which is a regular speaker with
line-in and, handily enough, an USB power port. Until now I had my
Airport Express connected to the soundcube.
In Airplay Bridge, I couldn't find an audio delay setting to fit the
player. It was swinging ahead or behind my Libratone Loop (both devices
are wifi.)

So I fired up iTunes on my mac, and I can't get this device to sync.
This time the delay is totally stable, but it plays early by half a
second or so. I tried syncing it to the integrated speaker in the mac to
the device, same issue. I tried accessing the device from my wireless
LAN or direct through the access point started by the device, same
issue.

Basically, as far as I can tell, this is a good product for the price,
but I would advise to stick to the manufacturer use case which seems to
enable Airplay audio in a car, without sync.
Don't expect a "squeezebox replacement" or you'll be disappointed. Still
you can use it at home, as long as you wouldn't hear 2 sources at the
same time.

I hope usc95 (or the manufacturer via a firmware update) can prove me
wrong. There is a lot to like in this little device.
