![]() ![]() So I installed Squeezebox Server on my Windows Home Server. Remoting apps depend on a Squeezebox Server, local or remote. Squeezebox Radio can’t run Squeezebox server on it, which the Touch can. So I needed to examine remoting and Spotify multi streaming. The analog output makes the sound slightly less crisp than audio from aĭigital source and the sound level is slightly lower, which is easily fixed with the receiver remote. So the Radio has good sound through its built in speaker, but how about connecting it to a receiver? Well, the Squeezebox Radio has one audio out and it is intended for headphones, but there is no law against connecting that out into a receiver instead of a headphone is there? □ I connected a 3.5mm out and stereo RCA into the receiver and it worked fine. But the Radio has about the same quality as the Sonos Play:3, which is good enough for me. The Sonos Play:5 has better sound with its five built in speakers. There is a distinct bass which gives the songs weight. The sound quality of the Radios speaker is great for its size. I have a Radio to test and one thing that immediately strikes me as a bonus against the Play:3 & Play:5 is the ability to control the Radio on the device itself, with the various buttons and the screen. Will it give me a taste for more of Squeezebox or will it be the final tipping point towards getting a Sonos solution?Ģ days later. I’m going to borrow a Squeezebox radio to examine the options within the coming days. The web, so maybe it does not work, but I’m going to give it a try. I have not seen this solution anywhere on But it does seem to have a headphone out and that could possibly be used to connect a 3.5mm to stereo cable, which i do have at home. Sure it does not have SPDIF (digital via optical or RCA) or analog RCA with left and right stereo. One theoretical way to press the Squeezebox price tag down would to use radio instead of touch connected to receivers. For Sonos, they have their own app and there is also Andronos, which is free. I will examine the remote options for Squeezebox the coming days.
