 Was wondering if the problem with EDO  USB output to this DAC has been
 resolved.

I don't believe anyone has tried recently.  Have there been any firmware
updates or has NAD claimed linux support?  You could try kernel #9 from
the expedients thread if you have access to one, but I have yet to see
any debugging of why this is not working..

[SlimDevices: Touch] squeezecommander vs squeezebox app

2012-08-11 Thread dood

I've downloaded squeeze commander as an alternative to the Logitech
android app, after reading how much better it is.

I've found that it is not very intuitive. For example I can't figure out
how to change the player. In the settings it shows that it
sees 2 players. On the Logitech app you simply touch the name of the
player and you get a list of players to select.

The Logitech app also has a split screen that allows you to see more.

I don't get how the paid app is better. Am I missing something?

You can use any old font you like, btw, just make sure that it has all the
codepoints / characters you need.

The official app requires you to set up an account with Logitech,
Squeezecommander does not. What happens ins your LAN stays in your
LAN. That said, I don't like its interface either, so I'm still using
SqueezeControl. It vanished from the Market a while back, but I can
send you the .apk if you want.

Which device do you use?
You can swipe left on the NowPlaying screen to get the list of players.
There you can indeed simply touch it to change players. Plus directly
control all of them.

It's probably not optimized for a tablet, but there are devices where
you definitely do not want a split screen.

Depends on what your needs are. For instance, compared to Squeeze
Commander the official app lacks:
- The ability to copy music to your device for offline playback
- The ability to pause or mute audio when a call comes in on phone
- The ability to edit/reorder menus and reorder items within current
playlist

I also found the official app to be slower in some operations (e.g.,
scrolling through long lists)

If the official app meets your needs, that's great. If not, you may find
Orange Squeeze to be more intuitive than Squeeze Commander (plus, it is
currently being more actively developed/supported).

2012-08-11 Thread 1ka

This was a must for me, as it brought back the party mode functionality
and stopped my guests accidentally deleting the current playlist.

The fact that it works on Android devices, means our guests can put it
on their own phones and browse and add to the current playlist.

The interface can be a little confusing.  It took me ages to work out
how to change to party mode and it's sort-of obvious once you know how.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput

2012-08-11 Thread guidof

I run EDO+TT+SBGK. The Touch's USB output is routed to a DSPeaker Dual
Core EQ/DAC via a Music Fudelity VLink II USB to SPDIP converter. I
noticed that when playing a CD rip, the display of the Dual Core reads
24/44 rather than 16/44 which is the actual resolution of the rip.

According to the VLink II manual, this device does not upsample.

The Dual Core appears to read all other input resolutions normally
(24/88, 24/96, etc.).

Any thoughts? Triode?

Regards,

Guido F.

The internal processing of usb audio is likely to be 24 bits for all
cases and will fill the lower 8 bits with 0s.  However if you have
replay gain enabled or the volume set to less than 100% then the bits
may be altered by the gain setting and this will alter all 24 bits. Some
Dacs such as the Audiolab MDAC monitor the number of bits which are
changing and use this for the bit depth - people notice that the dac
reads 44/16 at 100% volume and then it changes to 44/24 if you change
the volume.  Is this the case for you, or perhaps the dac is just
measuring that there are 24bits per sample being received.

Hi Triode, thank you very much for your explanation. I don't have replay
gain enabled, but I do control the volume at the Touch rather than at
the preamp (surprisingly to me, this sounds more transparent -- i run
both the Dual Core and the preamp with no attenuation). I'll try
reverting to using the preamp volume as a test.

OK Triode. Just ran the Touch at full volume, and sure enough, it read
44/16. Throttled down to 90% and it read 44/24.

Thanks again.
