[QUOTE="Chiron, post: 499185, member: 13494"] KJ Technical thins first. The Raspberry Pi here can do exactly the same as a squeezebox. It connects to your Logitech Media Server in exactly the same way. You can also use the add-ons you use with LMS. I use Deezer with success. There are only a few small things. 1) The DAC and SPDIF modules are separate, so you can only have one or the other. If you buy the two modules from the same firm you can of course exchange them, but they cannot be installed at the same time. 2) If you want to use the wifi dongle, you have to connect your Raspberry Pi to your network via a network cable at least once, to configure the wifi (setup the SID and password). You can do the setup headless (i.e. without a screen) however with a browser. I have found this setup to be much more reliable in its network connection than my duet, which dropped off frequently. I am very happy with my three units, and unless you require a unit with a screen, I would recommend this unhesitatingly. Regards Neels [/QUOTE]
