My own experience with powerline adapters is mixed. Your success will
depend on the wiring in your house. They tend to work well if the
sending and receiving devices are on the same circuit, but may not work
as well otherwise. I also found that I had buffering problems if someone
was running other

Given the space constraints, probably mostly icons. Perhaps some text,

Has anyone brought up the Nuvo line of wireless players yet? They do
play high-res files and they work with wireless but they require their
own gateway router.
One interesting feature is that if you attach a USB hard drive to any
player, the player will allow that music to be played and perhaps

Though it's trivial to get 1A, or even 2A USB supplies, relatively
cheaply. And many people will already have them lying around, which is

If at all possible, let's keep the same power connector as the SBT, by

getting mandatory in the EU, at least for battery-operated handheld
devices (which is not our case I guess.)

It sounds like you are talking about a USB jack that
Could be. I gave away my Duet to a friend (he volunteered.) On ebay I've
bought a few *new* old stock SB3 units around £85-100 each (shipping
extra.)
Look at the price the Logitech units go for, they seem to sell better
than the Slim devices ones…

Hi guys.
I'm currently selling a used (but in great condition) squeezebox classic

Anyone got any ideas how much I should expect for them? Sometimes both

Homeplug should work reliably for you as long as the Homeplug adapters
on the router and the 2nd SB3 are on the same electrical circuit, and
your wiring doesn't have any oddities.

I run a mixed network of traditional ethernet, powerline ethernet, and
WiFi across my various players and they sync fine. From my experience,
Powerline provides a more reliable connection than WiFi, albeit slower.
That said, for the purposes of streaming audio, Powerline is plenty fast
enough.
Hi - I currently have my main SB3 wired in to the network, and a
secondary SB3 connected wirelessly with approx 60% signal strength. It
all works and syncs very well until I turn the microwave on whereupon
the whole things stops, unless I turn the 2nd SB3 off. Clearly
