I have to agree with Rbatsch. I have had an SQII for a couple of years. Love and hate. Great when it works, a royal pain when it doesn't. I was wireless then switched to hardwired. Didn't make any difference. Everyonce in a while neither Firefox nor IE will be able to find the box. Usually it means rebooting the compter. I cannot find any consistency as to when this happens. I even dumped the SQ for awhile but had other problems. Which it turned out had nothing to do with the music player (stupid security software issue). I did miss Slimserver. I think the ideal would be Slimserver through my USB port. No networks, no host issues. Put a USB DAC with a jitter reduction on the output. The new DAC1 sounds like the ticket, or a Behringer SRC2496 for a low cost solution.
Squeeze Box Love'n'hate
I tellya, had I known this thing would be such a pain in the backside.....but yet I love it....when it works!!! Perhaps it's because I'm a MAC guy and my computers just work. This 'interactivity' with the SQ3 goes beyond my extent of how much I want to be involved with digital. I'm also a vinyl guy and I have no trouble with the interactiveness of playing records....in fact I savour it!
So what is it with the SQ3? Well sometimes it's busy 'buffering' when I want to listen to music. Other times it just shuts itself off. And then there's the times when it won't shut off.....unless you unplug it. And at times it loses it's network......whatever, it's just plain frustrating!!!!
Anyone else have this experience?
