What about other types of streaming audio - such as Red Zone or radio stations? Is this device limited to Pandora-type aps?

Yes, Pandora, it does have some Internet radio built in as well, and you can also use it as a Bluetooth speaker.

You will need to use the phorus app or an airplay compatible application to play to these speaker (when not playing over bluetooth, which can use any audio source available on your phone). The phorus app supports my local radio stations, playback from local dlna servers and pandora.

The Phorus app supports Internet Radio stations as well as thousands of FM and AM stations around the world. These can be streamed from the app to every room in your house, or to whatever configuration you prefer.

No, audio streaming only. Formats and providers are changing so fast that you'd be best off getting a roku/amazon/google streaming stick or device anyway.

yes, I found this unit very easy to set up on my home network, downloaded the app on my kindle and my android phone and can play pandora, sirius, Iheart, or any other net source of audio.

Yes. I can only speak for the iPad and iPhone. There is an app from Denon that least you switch sources and audio modes. I haven't tried it with a second zone yet, but I believe that is supported. The AirPlay support is pretty good as well. If you start streaming to it (built in support) it will automatically turn itself on.

Comrade Trotsky: I just bought this device from Amazon last week - it's an M1001 (Roku doesn't sell the M1000's any more). It works flawlessly. My router [Linksys WRT300N using WPA2 (Personal)] and my SoundBridge are separated by ~ 50 ft., and transmission has to go through several walls. Nonetheless, my SoundBridge almost never cuts out - I would say maybe two or three times (or less) in an eight-hour period. Recovery is automatic, and takes perhaps two seconds. The M1001 now ships with v. 3.0 software, which add several features to the display, as well as realiability (or so I'm told). Tip: Don't use the "standard" music servers out there (Windows, iTunes, etc.). Get Jamcast from Software Development instead (www.sdstechnologies.com - it's free). Jamcast will let you play ANY music-file format on your SoundBridge (including DRM), plus, it allows you to stream Pandora to your SoundBridge - something no other music server can do! PS - When I mentioned drop-outs above, I was referring strictly to using the M1001 as an internet radio. Consequently, the drop-outs MIGHT be the fault of the internet-radio provider. For example, when using Jamcast to receive Pandora, my SoundBridge NEVER cuts out!

Unfotunately I don't stream so I cant do a real answer.In any case I think that the internet capability of Zen Touch 2 are enough for listen radio in streaming.

I just bought it. It's the Normal wave. A2DP protocol is not correct for music streaming. I use a app to listen to music using this device.

yes, I just tried it. any station that streams on the web will play on this. I have three of this model and another model from Grace. Easy to search stations. took me about 15 seconds to find your station

i dont use the unit for streaming music , however if you go to their website they tout the unit to be able to do a lot regarding streaming of audio data for media devices like Ipad, likely it will do it

It's not for full range audio, it's a sub link. It only transmits the lower frequencies. This is not intended for streaming.

I don't believe so. THe sources I see for Zone 2 are: Internet Radio, Pandora, SiriusXM, Media Server, Flickr, Source?, Blu-ray, iPod/USB, CD, Tuner, Online Music, Bluetooth.

Greg,I can stream from an iPhone 3/4, a droid RAZR and a droid RAZR m. The weird thing is I have a 4 speaker system and streaming only works on the main 2. All 4 work on other inputs.You can change the LEDs to a bunch of different colors or have them do a disco auto changing thing

Currently the Live connects only to Pandora. I'd want Blip.fm included because I'm tired of Pandora's limited rotation and repetitive selections. Maybe in a future release if users make enough noise to WD.

I thought this thing could play music from a URL of your choice...? Or am I misunderstanding something? Pandora.com is a URL is it not?

Works with Pandora. As for iTunes I don't know, but anything with audio goes into the sterero.

Yes! I often listen to Pandora from my Android in our house. The sound is great and it's easy to set up. We also use it a lot outdoors and when traveling. This is a great purchase.

Hi Richard, STRDN850 Receiver doesn't have direct streaming function like accessing Pandora and TuneIn Radio. You need another device that supports streaming then you connect it on the receiver. -Vincent
