Very stable except when the microwave is running. Interupts the stream every time. Hey, that isn't just my microwave then! Good to know as it happens to me too. Should've mentioned it. iTunes for Dummies

Our microwave disrupts the signal from the router downstairs to our laptop upstairs - kicks it offline immediately until it is finished. Then the laptop magically works online again...

When you say end of live, does that mean all their streaming devices? I just got the Touch, and it's been working very well.

Explains why I got my 2 Squeezebox Radios for $100 @ Xmas. I find them useful. Hopefully I can use them for the indefinite future with Spotify and Pandora. Tom, for streaming, I tend not to use my AVR. I use my AppleTV, Roku or Tivo, since those have much better GUIs to navigate. I don't normally listen to my own content, I just stream so Pandora and Spotify are sufficient. The Airport Express is a good option too. Airfoil works well with it.

I have been streaming FLAC through my 3808 since I purchased it. I initially used a Linksys NAS that worked great for a few years then the controller died on it. I was able to pull all the files off the hard drives at which time I had set up a DNS 323 as my server. I hacked it as per the many sites and ran Twonky server on it, as it turns out this was what the Linksys had used as its server program. I have just recently set up an old PC with WHS 2011 and am presently looking for an add-in to use to stream my FLAC files from it. Although I am not really needing it as my iTunes library is offered up to play with no problems, but the audio snob in me keeps me looking for a nice add-in, JRiver looks to be a good candidate so far although I haven't looked to see if it will run on WHS.
