And what about a good headphone output in some model ?
The workaround would be to go for the headphone amplifier they are
available in most music stores and rather not inexpensive with very
solid quality.

I have a small headphone amp :) now it's tempting to set up the spare

Sorry if this is a naive question, but would it be possible to modify
SBS to get its stream using the UE Smart Radio server rather than

Unknown. But it could be the saving grace for SqueezeBox players going
forward.

One reason might be that the future support of SB depends on the success

There were no software players with full synchronisation ability.
Squeezplay started the issues. Reverse engineered Slim products were a

No I only own two software players with sync capability, but they work
fine

I believe hit and miss might appropriately describe the current
situation for syncing SW players, and I'm not sure SqueezePlay is
significantly better than the others in that respect.

Because you are not alone there are no plans to shut down mysb.com.

Yeah, but there were no announced plans to EOL the Squeezebox line

I think the real question is what will happen if, for example, Spotify
changes their API and updates are needed on the MySB side to keep it
active. Will the music services just all fade away one by one as this

I am trying to figure out what the Logitech is planning to do with all
of us who are using Squeezeboxes and are paying for services like
