I got some good advice from my older brother when I was young which has served me well, at least when I followed it. “You don’t need everything. But when you decide you are going to get something, get what you really want. Every time. You’ll be better off in the long run.” Don’t justify too...

That thought did cross my mind. AI is often nonsensical in my experience with it. If it is something I don't know anything about, it seems really cool, but if I know the subject well, then I often find AI is completely hallucinating.

This ad popped up in my browser today on Amazon. I mean...whuuut? I'm trying to imagine how this ad was even created. Clearly some work went into making this picture. I can't be "real", so some artist spent some time creating it. Someone surely reviewed it. Someone had to approve it and...

I generally keep a close on Ralphy's squeezelite-win updates. SLX ships with 1428. His 32-bit exe is on 1431 and his 64-bit is on 1432. Neither have any changes since 1428 that affect anything on Windows as far as I can tell and since he did not build a 32-bit version of 1432, I have put off...

Replying to an old post, I know. SLX not showing that ASIO driver may have been an inadvertent bug I recently fixed. You might try again with latest version. I got a 2-star review over that, the only non 5-star review in the last couple years and it bugs me, haha. —RGDawson

I just noticed this post where you mention, that the WDM-KS output works best for you. I’m the author of SLX, and I recently removed the WDM-KS outputs in the most recent version as choices because on every machine I tried them they give me super loud 100% output regardless of any volume...

Squeezelite-X also embeds the squeezelite player so you can use that to play from PC. You can let it run in the background and minimize to the tray area. Squeezelite-X will automatically discover your LMS servers(s). Also, you can define custom menu links which are handy (for example, I have...

You and I are in agreement.

Indeed. But after reading all the controversy over Denon swapping out DACs in there 3700/4700/6700 AVRs, if you put a gun to my head I'd make the bet that the S760 has a worse SINAD by 5-10dB. I'm only guessing, however. Whatever the difference is, if any, I can't hear it.

Blumlein 88, If I could like your post multiple times, I would. Thank you, it is exactly the type of response I was hoping for. Best take-aways for me: - "An old adage is 85% of HiFi is frequency response." - SINAD of 90dB is likely good enough - "...build a system from the speakers/or...

Sometime over the summer I was strolling through COSTCO, and I see stack of Denon AVR-S760H’s, priced at $439. I have little need for another Denon AVR, but I could not resist, so I snapped one up. It sat unopened for a few months. Then as (bad) luck would have it, my Denon X4500 decided to...

+1, Craig has done an amazing job with his Material Skin plugin for LMS. I have been using the Logitech Squeezebox since the early days. I have 5 of the squeezebox receivers, plus Raspberry Pi as the server. Btw, I’m the author of a Windows 10 app called Squeezelite-X, available for free on the...

I spent quite a bit of effort once trying to get my center channel to sound identical to a phantom center. Then I realized that that is not possible, even if mounted at the same height. But when the center is mounted lower than the left and right, it is worse. But if you, like me, are force...

Ditto, on LMS on Pi4, Squeezebox Duets throughout the house, plus Squeezelite-X on PC's.
