This is the cheapest player with all these features available on the market. We built a very high quality full features product so we needed to price accordingly. We had very little request for an analog output so we saved cost by not putting one on the unit.

Re: [slim] [Preview] iPeng on Apple Watch
iPeng for AppleTV will come, initially as a player only. But that's another platform I'm not totally convinced of. The remote is a real mess and the whole thing is too complicated to navigate. Actually similar problems to the Watch. Apple forgot to care about UI and usability.

[slim] SB alternative (access to local files)
I was looking at the various SB alternatives, specifically Yamaha's MusicCast and Sonos. I am confused how these other systems access local music? With SB, when I use my touch or the Radio it connects with my computer (running LMS) and accesses the Flac file for playback. What type of server does Sonos or MusicCast use, is it all DNLA?

[slim] Lots of buffering and dropping out - W10?
I've been having numerous problems with my LMS/SBT network. Just thought it may have started after I upgraded to W10. I use a Dell laptop to do a double jump to SBT. I know that's not optimal but it had been working flawlessly. Now I can't get to play one song without rebuffering.

Today Roon Labs released Roon 1.1 (build 94) this has better support for Squeezebox endpoints and also support for the new RoonReady endpoints.

Yes, but that's not what the rumors say. These rumors say it's much
slimmer.
And if I ignore the rumors I'd say they're going to wait another year.

I'm not su sure. Most people I've met who have bought one - even a lot
of Apple fanboys - are pretty disappointed, not sure many of them will
immediately want to spend another few hundred bucks after a year.
I'm actually a bit mixed. I always though that this is no product for me
as I'm not the kind of person turning on notifications in all Apps and
I also don't count steps, calories and so on.
I actually find myself using it more often than I thought because I like
it for sports (I stopped mounting my phone to my bicycle's handle bar
and now use the watch instead for speed etc.) and I'm fine with it
showing outside temperature and time.
But that's the kind of functionality I definitely wouldn't spend again
for, especially not as much as that thing costs.
I rarely ever wear it indoors so unfortunately I'm not even using it
with iPeng a lot although I sometimes do when I have guests because that
way skipping tracks or changing volume is less immersive than getting
you iPad out

Re: [slim] [Preview] iPeng on Apple Watch
Well then. You "have the app" already, so you just have to wait for Apple to make a more capable device. Then app developers will make it a compelling device (maybe.) Personally I find these wristwatch reboots totally out of place. But at the same time I can't see how we could do without wearable computers in the near future. Hence I doubt Apple will drop the product, I believe they will (try to) improve it. In the meantime, why don't you reinvent the itunes visualizer on the aTV4... Oh well, maybe not.

I could run it independently if I dropped all advanced UI and artwork display and limit communication to local servers and not allow switching players Hm... 90% of the functionality gone but you might be able to play/pause/change volume. But how to explain the different UI to users? Do I drop all that UI functionality completely? I think we'll have to wait at least until apple enables graphics rendering on the device although the more complicated communication issues still stay. > > How far is the hardware revision, realistically?

I still can't believe they are really bringing it this year because that would so severely devalue the first generation and IMHO kill their effort to position the watch as a luxury accessory. But then... They haven't really been successful in making people use this thing for anything else than as a sports watch on a larger scale so they might as well drop these higher-priced versions (or just not care about them) and focus on the cheaper sports watch. But then if these rumors are true then the new watch will be slimmer and have more sensors leaving little room for a more power-consuming processor and RAM (the slow RAM is one of the primary reasons for the lack of performance) or the addition of a stronger GPU. I guess in that case it will probably have somewhat similar performance and battery life with a smaller battery. OTOH battery performance hasn't turned out to be that big problem everybody expected (although that's probably to a certain degree because people simply don't use a lot of Apps so overall active time is short) and maybe they could accept a somewhat shorter battery life with an Apple Watch 2.
