He is the 2nd or 3rd most responsible person for keeping the Squeezebox/LMS going after Logitiech killed it. A simple search of John's many posts reveals that he has been working on a "new Squeezebox" hardware endpoint for years.
The microRendu was designed by JohnS & built for LMS. All the first aspects of the testing phase were using the hardware with LMS. Adding in MPD/DLNA functionality was almost an afterthought. And, I believe that the SBT was approved as a ROON endpoint even before the microRendu. Since the microRendu IS A BETTER SBT, its Roon approval came easily. Other than Mr. Herger and a few others, one can almost safely say, that John could be the reason why you're still using LMS/SBT type endpoints today.
"""So, this unit cannot stream Spotify, Deezer, Qbuz"
Was that a question? Your statement is untrue. Why, yes, the Bryston unit can stream everything that the Squeezebox can, because you can easily set it to show up as just another Squeeze-endpoint. It runs LMS just fine.
"OP, - you are correct. The SBT is heads and tails above this unit !"
How would you know?
"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
