Went shopping with tablet, amused when I got back it was still playing so it doesn't play through the tablet since that was on airplane mode with me. Did look at the log but couldn't see anything. Poking the play button about five times or so did get it to start and stay on. Without any transcoding in the MinimStreamer getting it to play the HLS AAC was choppy. Plugged the optical out of the Neet box into my trusty 2004 Sony Surround sound amp (STR-DB900). The Foobar2000 also setup to access the media server where installed. I opted for Bubble UPnP for the Android and Foobar2000 for PC access as a control points. The box has it's own SSID although for network mode you access via your own router(s) SSID and it integrates via the wifi bridge installation. You also put network security on the box else you leave your network open via access on the unsecured bridge. Installation you bridge the Airstream box on the network and it should ask you the identity of your network, nothing happened till I switched to the Chrome browser when the pop up appeared with your locally found wifi SSIDs. Points to look out for is that the installation program on the Neet doesn't like Firefox whether on a Android tablet or PC (with the firmware installed on the model shipped to me). Actual specification in detail difficult to come by although some disinformation I believe that it operates in the Apple sound domain with lossy transcoding from FLAC. The Neet box is alse badged Veetop® HiFi AirMusic Box and the SoundMate M1 (there is a M2 as well which is an upgrade) all made by Shenzhen UyeSee Technology Co Ltd. Possibly £29.99 is far too cheap but all chips made in China etc apart from the Raspberry Pi assembled in Wales. This may be old news but I didn't find anyone saying they had integrated the £29 Neet - WiFi Wireless Music Receiver - AIRPLAY + DNLA - for APPLE (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac), ANDROID (phones, tablets), WINDOWS (Laptop, PC) network DAC box with the Raspberry Pi Minimserver / Minimstream implementation.
