+1 ,but just not with softsqueeze use one of the other softplayers i suggest squeezelite .
NB ,you will have the usual problems with a pc based solution (that just works with a squeezebox , that is why have squeezeboxes in the first place) ,bypassing mixer ensure bitperfect playback etc . None of the softplayers can fully replace a hardware squeezebox , you will always find some limitation or corner case when a certain soft player won't do what you want . For example some subscription services requires a real hardware squeezebox. Notice that is by coincident you can sometimes register a softplayer on mysqueezebox.com they are not officially supported there . (Squeezelite will support triodes spotify plugin btw ) Most decent dac's have both usb and spdiff inputs and installing EDO is not that complex if really insist on using usb . There is nothing that supports the assertion that usb input on a dac is always better it is so implementation dependent , it can be the other way around too . So first get a dac that performs to your liking don't limit the search to usb only models ? after you found your prefered dac then it may be time to worry (or not) about which of inputs to use if it has multiple inputs avaible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97248 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
