Are any of you still using them? Don't need mine after switching to Chromecast.
Wired, silver v3. It has a few scratches, but works fine otherwise. Comes with power supply and remote. Can put some pictures up if anyone is interested.
£75ish + S&H.

I replaced mine with some Raspberry Pi/Hifi Berry things (super-simple setup and no need for a SB remote which I always thought was the biggest weakness in their hardware players - that you couldn't set them up without a working remote)
I'm quite tempted by yours though - if only so I can have it showing the VU needles when listening to music!

Great little devices, aren't they.

I'm very impressed. Will probably get a speaker as well. Not as slick as Sonos, but at £30 it is difficult to argue with.

I have mine plugged into the back of my AV receiver. That plus a tablet running Plex and you're good to go.

Speaking of Chromecast/Audio, I might have to give this a go:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... t&hl=en_GB
Should stream all my music from the NAS to a Chromecast - if so this will be very handy for the kitchen/bedroom etc.
The above is of particular interest to me as a) it supports FLAC b) it supports large libraries apparently and c) it supports ReplayGain*
* everything I have is tagged with ReplayGain and it just makes life easier, not having to adjust the volume for every track**
** having said that, more modern music with massive compression will always cause problems when played back-to-back with older, less compressed music

I am disappointed by the negligible concertina/accordion content in this thread.
