Is the SB very user friendly? Do you only access it with the remote?Here's what you should do to answer this. Download the SlimServer software and set up the SoftSqueeze software that comes with it. SoftSqueeze displays a graphic that looks exactly like the display of the SB hardware itself. It also displays a graphic that looks exactly like the remote. You can test drive the actual hardware system by clicking the mouse on this "virtual remote" and observing the "virtual SB" display. This mimics the actual hardware behavior almost exactly.
But this is not the only way to control the SB. You can also sit at the server and control it entirely through the SlimServer UI. The SlimServer UI is web based and displays in your web browser.
This brings up a third way to control the SB. I use a laptop next to my listening chair for this, but any wireless or wired network device that supports a web browser can be used. By putting a special URL into the web browser, one can connect to the SlimServer remotely, and the display looks exactly like what you see when running SlimServer on the server itself.
You should really try out SlimServer with SoftSqueeze. It works with your existing sound card. The people who don't like the SB usually are that way because they don't like the software. You can check it out all beforehand and avoid surprises later.
