Re: [slim] High-end squeezebox speakers
The most high end you can do is simply using spdiff to a real hifi system , enjoy :) ... But for portable small formactor speakers that's goes anywhere , hints and reviews are most vercome . In my secondary locations I use active speakers of any kind that takes analog or spdiff . That opens the field to almost anything as you now can peruse proaudio or "computer speakers" that's was previously a word for really crappy speakers but they tend to merge in the middle nowadays , active monitors getting cheap and computer speakers looking more like active monitors . And you can cut out the traditional hifi dealer in yet another way , go to music store where they sell keyboards guitar etc . They can have a home studio corner .

Re: [slim] iPhone 7
Ah. Now I totally agree about the interference issue. I have a very nice portable headphone amp. Won't work with an iPhone due to mobile signal interference but works perfectly with iPod Touch and iPad with iPeng. So I think we are saying that the iPhone 7 won't have a headphone jack but there will be a lightning adapter in the box. I suppose the real question is will that adapter (with in built DAC and amp?) be as good as the onboard DAC & amp? *Vortexbox LMS 7.9 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B&W P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106101 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Conspiracies. Apple arte the ones who forced the industry to give up with DRM, why should they promote it now? Plus: people these days are not in the music (streaming) business to make money with it, which is part of the problems we are seeing but also means things like DRM are irrelevant.

Re: [slim] iPhone 7
Logically they have dispensed with the onboard DAC and moved it to the Lightning dongle. I suppose it might mean that some high end DAC manufacturers might enter the market with a replacement dongle.

Re: [slim] High-end squeezebox speakers
I am hopeful that the new Vizio speakers with built in Google Cast will first sound good and second work with the Castbridge plugin: https://www.vizio.com/smartcast-home-audio I am also intrigued by this speaker: https://www.amazon.com/GGMM-Bluetooth-Featuring-Multi-Room-Streaming/dp/B00WGOO2AW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473436858&sr=8-1&keywords=airplay+speakers I doubt it would qualify as "high-end" but could be good value and I think it looks kind of neat - but only if it works with the airplay bridge. usc95's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106103 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
