Topic: NMTs as music source

[Courage]

re: squeezbox touch

im sure meron na din nyan, but i havnt seen one yet. its a bit pricey, retails at around US$290++. ang nakita ko lang sa greenhills was the cheaper model. maganda lng dito is that hindi na kailangan magbukas ng tv monitor to navigate the nmt because may built-in screen na and my usb host for external drives plus dami pang cool features. so dac + integrated amp na lng good to go na for pure audio listening  

Yup yun din isip ko, di na kailangan naka LCD when listening to music. Yun hirap sa NMT natin, kelangan bukas para maka navigate.. I was actually looking for a small LCD that i can use just to navigate, tipong mga 8" lang...Yung mga LCD monitor na pang kotse pwede na yun..

Music streamer lang ata ang Logitech Squeezebox, kaya it's not a media tank (walang storage function). Sa mainstream segment, Logitech at Sonos ang sikat.

Maraming music streamers out there, there are good ones (Cambridge, Marantz, Arcam, Rotel, Yamaha, Olive, etc.) and higher end ones (Linn, Naim, Bryston, Raumfeld, McIntosh, Meridian, Sooloos, etc.) too.

May i know saang store may available nang music streamer like the Logitech? I really love to have a music source that doesnt require an LCD to navigate.

I had the same thought to use a small LCD TV for navigating our NMT when listening to music.  I have to check though if the composite video out works while the HDMI output is also connected but I don't have a composite video screen anymore.  Those car LCD TV should work.

The Panasonic P42V20 has a "Panel Off" feature which lets me turn off just the display of the TV to save electricity.  The display comes back on when I press any key so it is not too inconvenient.

Lakas sa kuryente brrader pag malaking LCD gamit, tapos syempre tatagal pa LCD natin, ayaw ko naman nang patay buhay patay buhay ang LCD just to navigate.. baka nakakasama din yun... May tinitingnan ako sa CD-R king yung mga maliliit na LCD TV na worth 2k+ lang.. About 8-10 inches ata yung mga yun... Natatakot lang ako baka di naman tumagal.

maganda nga yang logitech as music player, touchscreen pa.

This is one reason why I like VA albums - start playing and then just let the whole folder run.  The XTreamer doesn't have a playlist that seems convenient for me.  

I'm also looking that those LCD picture frames but so far I haven't found one with a video input.  There's CDRking at the basement of Podium.   Will go on my lunch break.


Pogi nga yung Logitech but rather expensive I would think.

parang pwede syang magfunction as an nmt because it has a usb host port, so it can accomodate an external hdd, aside from an sd, or kung wireless, thru networking function.

yung sonos naman master, napaka mahal, parang ikaw lang yta mkaka afford nun.

ok sana talaga ang ipod especially on file management. problem is i dont know if it can already support flac and other lossless formats. at kung puro lossless ang laman, sigurado ubos ang storage ng ipod.

instead of flac sir, it uses aiff or apple lossless.

Networked music player nga siya then (not purely a streamer). Sonos isn't exactly on my list kung maghahanap ako ng player at that price range, though they make very convenient devices.

Apple Lossless ata ang supported ng iPod, pero limited to 16/48 only. Pwede tumunog ng maganda ang iPod with a nice transport and DAC.

Kung Squeezebox, meron before sa Villman pero wala na ata ngayon (mukhang di mabenta). Before may Sonos ang Architectural Audio, but I'm not sure kung meron pa.

For higher quality streamers, try AVDI (Bryston), Architectural Audio (Naim) or Toyama (Linn).

Buhayin ko lang to and ask kung pano manage music files sa NMT if ever use it as music source, is there something like a play list parang sa pc like winamp? Gano kabilis mag load yung files if 1TB or 2TB discs with current pinaka mura NMTs like xtreamer elvira or kaiboer equivalent...

I plan to use a DAC by the way if this route is selected. The other is just IPOD classic, dock then audio set-up.

[fattyacid]

Ano bang NMT ang pwedeng maka-select and audio out either 48, 96, 192/24 audio quality?

Wala pa ata sa NMT pero meron sa mga Audio Streamers

The reason Im looking for this is that my AVR really shines when the audio is higher than most NMTs default (44/16). So I use PS3 now as my preferred audio source than an NMT but it cant play all my movie/audio files. Time to upgrade to a new NMT na sana.
