I bought my Duet a couple of weeks ago, but have spent the intervening
time ripping all my CDs to lossless format, doing a pile every time I
sat down at the computer. Quite a lot, 2/3 of my 250 gig USB drive,
purchased for this purpose, is filled (it's USB, but fits into a slot
on the HP computer, called a Pocket Drive).
So today was D-day (as in Duet Day). I'd decided to do a hybrid setup,
although unfortunately the location where the sound equipment has to be
had no ethernet jack. So I drilled a hole in the corner and ran a
cable directly to the router, which is in the basement practically
right below the SB receiver. In principle, I'm a believer in wired
where possible.
So the setup was hybrid, and everything proceeded smoothly. Had an
extended blue light, during which nothing worked, and I was beginning
to think I had some sort of firewall issue with Norton AV, but in the
fullness of time things sorted and it ALL WORKED.
At first there was some issue with a delay in the controller showing
what was actually playing, but I suspect that had to do with the
Squeezecenter or something else churning cycles on the computer, as it
too eventually went away.
The music quality is very very good, I'm convinced I can hear a
substantial improvement over the CD player (which is a cheap one).
Magic!

Welcome to the Forum and the world of Squeezebox. Glad to hear things
are working well and that you are enjoying the music for that is the
whole idea. Now it is on to your server! I will reply to that thread
now. Enjoy!
