Will have to check It out. He famously worked with Miles Davis and Helen Merrill, far more obscurely with Marcy Lutes.Pandora - "Gil Evans Radio." Some Gil, some Ellington, some other stuff I recognize but can't name off the top of my head. The Sonos Play:1s sound especially good tonight.

Started with Sonny Rollins Saxophone Colossus and now listening to the playlist created by the Don't Stop The Music plugin for LMS. Currently listening to Joe Henderson Inner Urge from the album Big Band.
Lenovo K230 running LMS >> Pogoplug V4 running Squeezelite >> Schiit Modi DAC >> Schiit Sys passive pre amp >> Magnavox 9306 amp >> Dual LS205EB speakers
The "laptop" (K230) is actually an old desktop with a Core Duo CPU which runs LMS. It is headless and uses Ubuntu for its operating system. The pogoplug has been hacked to run Arch Linux for its OS and it runs squeezelite (the player software). I can control the Pogoplug by using the squeeze commander app on my smartphone and tablet or from any computer on the network using the LMS web UI. That is how the office system works.So, I'm mildly confused by how you're set up. Are you using the laptop to not only run LMS but control the Pogoplug as well? (I would assume directly from the LMS interface...)

My main system is similar but instead of the pogoplug, I am using an old netbook that is running Linux Mint and squeezelite.
I come out of the netbook via USB to the Behringer UCA202 and out of its optical port to the HiFime Optical 9018 DAC. The Beringer is a DAC too but its DAC is not being used. Unfortunately I am limited to 16/48 by using this configuration even though the HiFime can play 24/192. My Hi-rez files will play so they must be downsampled some where along the line.Ah. got it. The netbook - how do you come out of it? To a DAC? Also, I think of Pogoplugs as being sort of the ancestors to RPs (not really, not at all in terms of the architecture, but they were an early example of low power device that could be turned to a specific task). How long has this one been running?

I have two Pis so I am familiar with them. PiCoreplayer has made the RPi child's play to set up now if you want an audio player/server.

Maybe so but I have $190 invested for two bit perfect players that are no different from using squeezebox appliances. IMO they are better than the real squeezeboxes. I had two of them.
On the Sonos Play:1s, Pandora custom channel, "Benny Carter Radio." So far, Mr. Carter followed by Johnny Hodges. Hard to argue with.

I have his Songbook CD burned to disk. Really nice collaboration with some pretty good singers, enjoy it a lot.
