So, can I conclude that in Burnside's test that all 5 of the devices played in sync? Just want to check.

Were they in sync? Syncing has been an issue with multi-room and high rez.

Yes - and just click the Add Cover Art to File option and it will save the cover art in the file for you automatically :)

Yes it is IMO - it backups up the cover art. No backup system is perfect. Just my opinion.

Putting the album art in the file is just another form of backup.

You might also want to look at dBpoweramp for ripping. I switched from EAC to dBpoweramp years ago because it was faster and had more options. You do have to pay for it however.

I would also suggest putting the cover art into the flac file. It most cases it is reductant with saving the jpeg file in the folder, but it is nice to have when you move the files to other systems in case the jpeg gets lost.

I know all the technical issues here but when I see the term DLNA from Wiim, my first reaction is the problems with DLNA casting because that is important to me. I know it has nothing to do with the Sound, but the Sound advertising evokes a negative connotation in me just because of the term...

Shortly after Sonos screwed up its app, Wiim announced that it would support DLNA casting. My belief, and others I believe, was that this was at least partially so that Wiim users could cast to Sonos speakers from Wiim streamers. This was before Wiim got into the speaker business as a direct...

Please read my explanation of above - my comment was about marketing message not the technical capabilities.

Sorry for the confusion. I should have been more specific. I was referring to the marketing aspects of this advertisement, not the technical part of it. From the technical perspective, Wiim certainly supports using DLNA to connect to their streamers. The problem is that Wiim has promised DLNA...

That is not what I said. My point is that DLNA casting is a sore point with Wiim users, nothing more.

Understood. I am just commenting that they are marketing something that is somewhat of a sore spot with some current users.

From the Amazon listing - "cast directly via ... DLNA". Interesting that they market that given the current state of DLNA casting.

Yes, but the one I miss not using anymore the most is one of the coolest designs ever from Yamaha. Design by Mario Bellini and in the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art.
