Hi! Its "Melbourne Cup" Day here folks, means that just about everyone's on Holiday just for a horse race, in other words its the most boring day of the year so thought I'd do some testing and amuse myself by seeing just how robust airPlay can be and if it would fall over as I added devices and streams.
So what do we have going here? Let's see if I can remember everything <smile>. iTunes on the iMac is streaming to my older Airport Express which is connected to the Yamaha RXV520 in the den, been streaming for 7 hours now and still going strong. iPhone 5 is streaming Music to the Denon AVR2113 in the lounge, has been streaming for an hour and a quarter and still going strong. Mac Mini is streaming iTunes to my Bose Soundlink Air portable speaker system, has been streaming for 2 hours and still going strong though battery of the Soundlink's likely to go flat at any time, don't get me wrong! battery life on a Soundlink Air battery isn't that bad, it wasn't fully charged before I started streaming.. my iPad 4th Generation is streaming to my Second Generation Airport Express which is in the bedroom and connected to the Bose Wave II radio's line-in socket, has been streaming for 2 hours and still going strong. And last but not least, my iPod touch is streaming to my JBL onAir system on top of the fridge in my kitchen, has been streaming for the last 9 hours and still going. Now all this to me seems quite impressive, II'm sure that other Wireless routers may have a bit of trouble with all this data flowing this way and that, certainly one of the routers I had not so long ago in the past wouldn't have stood all this - not to mention me playing about on the Internet and sending eMail from the Windows PC into the bargain -, I'm using an Asus RTN56U router and if anyone wants specific details on that then send me a private eMail so we don't get off topic <smile>. . ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
