Yes; more of an Android person, but I've used JRemote on a V1 IPad and Gizmo on Android Tablet both. But so far they don't seem to allow the kind of selection flexibility from the Panes I have set up with the JRiver app. Am I missing something?? Thanks

This s a great discussion that follows up an amazing summary that anyone who is working with CA could use to save a lot of work/confusion. I have experience through a few options: started with squeezebox system, took a long while but got things going smoothly; with concerns about the longterm survival (which subsequent events supported) it went looking for replacement, went with LinnDS & Asset upnp. New learning curve but a little easier the second time around. Today, I still have both systems with a Windows Server running both LMS for squeeze and Asset for Linn. But, I listen to most of my music through a CAPS server pointed to the server only to deliver the files. I think it sounds better than either system. It's a very different approach, right? Async USB into a DA rather than analogue into the preamp from the 2 earlier boxes. It runs very smoothly, pretty much glitch free. The bonus: JRiver is the best tool for accessing a library (including large Classical Collection) than the prior tools, at least IMHO. No experience with ITunes, though. I don't love using a laptop to RDC into the CAPS box but it works great. Tablet options so far seem much less flexible. What's next?

Mike: Thanks for making everything so clear, now I can go on to listen. Computer-based music has been a fascinating and satisfying journey. It started some time ago with Squeeze, then moving towards Linn DS. More recently, I was chatting with the principal of the company that made my amplification and DAC (Aesthetix) and he said go for pure computer based playback. So off to Caps V3 carbon (courtesy of Small Green) and JRiver along with less hand holding and more exploration. And it sounds great. I have learned much of what I know through this forum. I hope once I get more experienced I can contribute. Thanks.

Thanks for the question, Mike I am in the same situation. May I add an additional: how is the power from the system bus disconnected from the the SOtM USB card when provided by the MBPS-d2s? Thanks
