Hi Mark, Does the Homehub 4 have that smart setup? If so try turning it off in the router options - I know it breaks Chromecast.

So if anyone is still following I bought an rPAC from Richer Sounds today and impressed so far. Auditioned some headphones too, probably gonna get myself some Grado SR80i's at the end of the Month. For wireless streaming in the living room I'm going to get an Airport Express off ebay having...

I had a look at the rblink too. You'll probably need to buy a bluetooth dongle if you don't already have one (doubt onboard bluetooth will support it). Not many bluetooth device are APTX compliant (most are AD2P) at the moment, think it's more a hardware thing so once both side are APTX...

Having sold my squeezebox duet a while ago I'm now without a decent solution for listening to my music. I have CD's but never listen to them anymore, just in the process or re-ripping them to FLAC - previously MP3 at various bit rates. I'm also a heavy spotify user so it's computer based audio...

If you install the Shark codec packs you can play pretty much anything with media player, I quite like WMP, particularly the interface, the Windows 8 music app is quite nice looking too. Those serious about computer based audio seem to use Foobar2000, Winamp or JRiver in combination with a DAC...

Ok so there's nothing more frustrating than when the OP never posts saying what they did in the end thus rendering the original post pointless. I'm still chruning over all the possible solutions and still change my mind on an almost daily basis. In the mean time I have been playing with...

Unfortunately mate I spent as much time fixing it as I did listening to it. Wouldn't join my wirless or wouldn't login to my squeezebox or wouldn't see my server etc etc |( Brillaint when it worked - when I found out Logitech were going to stop making them it was the final straw.

These look nice - not sure how they compare to the sound from a seperate dac, amp and speaker setup for the same money: http://www.kef.com/html/gb/showroom/digital_music_solutions/x300a/overview/

This is how I did it npoguy - as Frog says - Tiode: It's a poist I found on a forum - worked for me: Squeezebox Duet + Spotify = SOLVED. I had the same problem as swiper696 (Triode 3rd party plugin disabled by official Spotify app) and here is the solution, enjoy: 1) Open Squeezebox server web...

Hey Fred, Search for me - Andy Hollingworth, I've got a whole load of playlists - hope you find some stuff you like! With regard to a music server - what about one of those Intel Nuc boxes? I'm tempted to build one and put windows 8 and xbmc on it.

Thanks guys - appreciate the responses! I have considered picking up an Apple Airport Express from Ebay but ruled it out, my trusty iPad 2 will probably be my last Apple device. Don't get me wrong I like the products but I don't like the price premiums or the proprietary connectors (which they...

Well not as simple as that but that's where we'll start! I like spotify a lot and have put a fair amount of time into setting up play lists but one problem I've always had is what's the best way of listening to it through my primary kit. I was initially a Napster user, at the time I had a...
