Volume control at the speaker?

So too is your vacuous post.

At least you agree with me that he's full of baloney.

I suggest you read this. It does what the OP wanted.

I expect all these devices compress the audio data before streaming it.

Not hi-fi at all.

I use FLAC with my SB2's so the music is stored in LOSSLESS compression,
then transferred to a SB2 and uncompressed to original CD. Hifi, indeed.

Also, to distribute the music I have a KuroBox HG with a 400GB Seagate
hardrive synch'd to another identical one. Each only uses 17W of power
and is extremely quite. But if you have no linux experience at all,
steer clear.

What's an SB2 ?

Is it wireless ?

Squeezebox 2; yes, it's wireless. You place one in each room where you
want to hear sound; and you have a single computer in your home storing all
the music. The music is stored uncompressed or compressed, and transmitted
over the Ethernet wired or wireless network the way it is stored. The
Squeezebox 2 can provide analog or digital output.

The Squeezebox 2 costs about $300 for each room, which makes it the most
expensive of the available solutions for computer-server based wireless
distribution of uncompressed digital audio files. Still, the non-computer
based solutions seem to cost $1000 for each room each right now.

Of course with the computer-based solutions you can have the Squeezebox 2 in
some rooms, and lower-cost devices such as the $100 Netgear MP101 in others.

The $150 Philips Media Player has built-in wireless ethernet and handles
video. (This seems similar to the Prismiq Mediaplayer)

Do these devices know about WPA? I mean, I'm not going to have my wireless
without a bit of security.

The SB2 does. You might want to ask do the other units support FLAC if
you care about HiFi.

I don't know... I can tell you the Netgear MP101 doesn't support WPA. The
Netgear MP101 does support WEP-128, but Netgear's own web site says this is
not much harder to crack than WEP-40/WEP-64. See

http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101190.asp

Anyway, if anyone wants to supply the info for other NMDs (Network Music
Devices), I'll add it to my list and repost it (or put it on a web page or
something.)

I didn't notice other devices supporting FLAC, though several do support
..wav

Anyway, if anyone wants to email me the supported file format info for other
NMDs (Network Music Devices), I'll add it to my list and repost it (or put
it on a web page or something.)
