I hadn't really paid much attention to this (Pi as a squeeze player), until I happened to see another thread where it was recommended as a replacement player (not that I need one yet, fortunately).
I have a RPi B+, so decided to give it a go; I downloaded piCoreplayer, dropped it onto SD, plugged RPi into power and network and browsed to to the GUI (RPi/piCoreplayer obtained IP address from DHCP). I then connected RPi to my Marantz PM7005 (DAC built in), and found the player in the GUI squeezelite output settings. After a restart, I used SqueezePlay running on laptop to control the new player. Wow, I'm impressed; after about 10 minutes I have another squeezeplayer for about £20 that just works, and works well. I don't know yet how many bits it's sending (or can send) to the Marantz at what rate yet; I guess I'll found out shortly. Living room: SB Touch, with coax to: Marantz PM7005, TDL RTL3 speakers.
