Hey,

I'm looking for user feedback about RDG-1520 from Rotel. Pros/Cons compared to open source solution such as Slimbox ?

Thanks,

Vincèn

    With the new firmware released in January of this year (2012), integration should be much easier.
    Protocols for ROTEL:

    Examples:
    SOURCE SELECTION COMMANDS
    iradio! Source iRadio source=iradio!
    network! Source Network source=network!
    aux1! Source Aux 1 source=aux1!
    fm! Source FM source=fm!
    dab! Source DAB source=dab!
    usb! Source USB source=usb!

    However, the box doesn't do a lot for the $999 MSRP and has no onboard storage.

    A Vortexbox is a better solution with many more services at less than half the price. But your customer may prefer a ROTEL for emotional reasons.
