Sounds like a solid plan. As a matter of fact I had a pair of Audio Engine A5's and used to haul them outside. I wasn't all that thrilled with their indoor performance and liked the Radio outside just as well. Probably because around my pool isn't a great place to use stereo. I just need decent t

. We have a cabin and I use the Touch out of my Expedition with a 2TB Toshiba USB powered hard drive full of FLAC. I use the Touch built-in mini server plus I keep an old WiFi Router at the cabin so I can use iPeng to control everything. We have a pair of AudioEngine A5+ powered speakers we take

Hey Pablo. Sounds wonderful, hummingbirds (maybe get them a songbook with words) and all :-) What I like about the Boom is the fidelity. I find it much more satisfying than listening through earbuds and with my pi and the 250GB thumb drive I can have my entire collection of flac files in a tiny p

Same here. I have a little cabin lost in the Mendocino woods in Northern California. Just me, an infestation of hummingbirds in the spring and summer (kidding they are lovely, even though they are very protective of their fav flowers beds), plenty of squirrels and raccoons, and even the (very oc

Thanks Paul. It's great. For others, keep in mind you have to set it up using ethernet. Turn WiFi on and Bluetooth off. Set it up and disconnect the ethernet. It was a little tricky at first for me, but that's probably just me. Howard paul- wrote: > Glad its working well for you Howard. > >

It's Access Point Mode which basically mean you can control it directly without having to have it on a network (it creates its own). It's the same as one of the features on the Duet. You can use just the server and your phone to complete a wireless player. In my case I put the RPI (Server) in my

Just came back from a few days in West Virginia. I took my SB Boom and an RPI running PiCorePlayer 3.5 and a 250GB thumb drive with 8000 flac files. I used the AP Mode feature and had the best portable music player I have ever experienced. What a pleasure. I am going to be so depressed when my Bo
