I have a Western Digital Mybook (500gig). Do you know if the Touch will support it, I believe the USB drive has to be FAT32 but I cannot find info that says the WD Mybook is or not. Getting back to the sound quality, if I use the digital out to connect to my AVR (Yamaha RXV2600) then I will be using the DAC in that unit correct? If that is the n case then shouldn't both the SB and Sonos system sound the same....almost? I believe the Yamaha RXV2600 has a 24 bit Burr Brown DAC so I may be better off using that anyway. -- Newfiestang50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Newfiestang50's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34117 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72307 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
