As much as I like the SB3, I will need to replace it because it will not play 96/24 files.
However, I’m having a real problem finding a network player that would have such a good interface as the Squeezebox has on my android. I do not use the remote or my laptop, only my android phone.
Artwork, I need artwork for albums otherwise I will never find the albums I’m looking for.
The fact that the albums are in release order is also a plus, I can easily choose whether I want earlier or later albums without thinking about it.
The SB3 also supports .cue flac files which I need from my future network player.
Radio, I listen to internet radio a lot and the SB is great. In most cases there is an icon next to the station name, which is great because I do not need to read the station names.
When the radio is playing, in a lot of cases, I will see the artwork for the album, artist name and album name, hence no need to use Shazam to find out the artist.
The big display is great because I can read across the room what is currently playing, but I do realize that this is something I will not have with a network player, a great android app would be good enough.
I am certain that there is no way that I will get a network player for £200 which the SB3 cost me years ago so I am looking for a player up to £1000 but failing to find a good one.
I had the Stream Magic 6 for testing and I didn’t like it. The app may be good for someone who never used a network player before or never had a good app like the SB. And it didn’t play .cue flac files.
Any suggestions?
