yes that is right, as in currently and proposed. The only thing to add is my pi is in the spare room with my modem and desktop, connected via this https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/networking/powerline/bt-broadband-extender-flex-600-powerline-adapter-kit-twin-pack-10142651-pdt.html to my squeezebox, amp and speakers in the other room. Ideally, it would be a straight swap amp for music centre. I will cross the problem of where to place it etc later, if it works and if I like it better. But I am open to alternative ideas such as utilising the pi directly nearer the squeezebox or straight into the music centre if it sounds better or is less complicated. If for some reason I still prefer my current set up, I will buy a small set of speakers and put the music centre somewhere else, I have kept a box of LP's for nostalgia etc, classic ones. I will definitely not be letting this music centre go again. So I also need to think about using my current KEFQ300 speakers with the music centre if I put into permanently into the system, they will be too powerful but I think unless I drive them too much they will be fine (unlikely in the house). But as you say Ronnie, first things first, I need to get them and make sure it all works properly. However it can be done which is all I wanted to know, its on the way, I wish I had taken it back years ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NE5's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113307 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
