[slim] Sourceforge down... up... down...
Sourceforge seems to be having trouble for the last few days. This will affect updating piCorePlayer, loading piCorePlayer extensions and also some LMS plugins. Currently Sourceforge is DOWN!

I have *Duets*, Booms and *Radios.* You already have the solution listed in your post, it's called a Baby/Squeezebox Radio! Wifi is always better then Bluetooth. Range is going to be a major problem with Bluetooth IE the Squeezebox, Bluetooth TX, and Bluetooth RX are all going to be in the same room anyway so why bother. I can walk all over the house and out in my yard with a SB Radio as long as it sees my WiFi network. You also have a Duet so the Transmitter is connected to your WiFi Network so you could plug that Bluetooth Transmitter into the Duet TX and carry it around with the Bluetooth Speaker system (or at least have it within 20 feet) and that would make your Bluetooth Speaker System portable as long as the Duet Transmitter is in range of your WiFi Network. Lastly several companies make stereo TX/RX that work in the 440MHz/900MHz bands (whole house plus yard coverage). The down side to this is that the main unit will be at a central location with your choice of Squeezebox, but you would have to carry their 900MHz receive with the TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.1 Transmitter plugged into it to rebroadcast to the Bluetooth Speakers. . . *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108058 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

This will work by using a SB device's audio output to convert it to a bluetooth signal - this should be receivable by any bluetooth (both battery and powered) speakers (ranging from a few dollars to 100s of dollars) - but bt is limited to a few meters and is severely compromised by walls, etc. Touch, Logitech Radio, Logitech UE Radio, O2 Joggler + SqpOS UPnPBridge - 2 paired Sonos Play1 speakers; Rocki - Sony SRS-BTM8 speaker; Pioneer WX-SMA1 speaker; - PURE One Flow internet radio: PURE Jongo S3x ; Jongo T2; Libratone Zipp Castbridge - Chromecast 1 + Chromecast Audio AirplayBridge - Loewe Airspeaker SB Player - Fire TV castalla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15624 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108058 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It really helps when you give the Forum ALL the information you can IE what exactly are you trying to do and why? For example, how are you going to drive the Speaker? This device isn't going to drive even a bookshelf speaker. So the speakers will have to have an AMP or be Powered Speaker both of which need power so you are going to have wires anyway so why bother with Bluetooth? Now if its for a pair of rear speakers away from the main system and you don't want to run wired but you will have power over at the rear position then that will work again as long as you use self-powered Speakers or an Amp with Speakers (but note they will most likely not be in sync with the mains if that is the object.

Re: [slim] Logitech Transporter out of sync with EMM Labs DAC6e SE word clock
Ive come to the conclusion that the Transporters word clock input (and/or associated software) is simply not functioning correctly, and that theres nothing wrong with the DAC6. Considering how much I really do love the Transporter, and was just curious about older DACs (even though I didnt quite take that exact route), the DAC6e SE is going back out on the market. That may sound hasty as all get-out, but I have no interest in combing the planet for a fix. ballywho's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67391 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108053 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
