SB Player (App)

Customer Review

I was really looking forward to an extension of the family of Squeezebox players on Amazon Fire TV. Currently I run at home two SB Touch, a SB Radio and several iPeng with player option on iOS devices. The Player on Fire TV would use the last remaining data sink.

The installation and commissioning went off smoothly and without any problems. The player appeared immediately on the Logitech Media Server page and in iPeng and let be selected. MP3 (tested up to 320 kbit / s) and FLAC 16/44 ran without difficulty starting.

The disillusionment came when I tried to play ALAC and high-resolution FLAC files. 24-bit / 96 kHz FLACs begin to stutter reproducibly after a few seconds. And M4A comes from the speaker out only digital garbage. Although clearly in the description was "Natively Decodes FLAC, MP3, AAC, Ogg, ___Alac___, and PCM (AIF and WAV) audio. [...] Natively supports playback of audio by converting ___24bit___ to 16bit (with dithering)".

On my network, it is not proven. All other hardware and software in my player play installation above data formats from without the slightest problems.

Since I have a lot of music in ALAC Other seed also be in HD, the program in its present form for me is useless. It must be urgently rectified.

Otherwise than in the AirPlay App "AirReceiver", the Fire TV does not switch itself off after half an hour inactivity in the standby mode. Positive: You do not wake specially with the remote control device. Disadvantage: Energy consumption is significantly higher and the right light power indicator now lights up all the time by.

In sum, no change in the overall assessment.

Gently but thoroughly Rank: 5/5
