I would like my Touch to fade the volume out when I hit pause or skip.
A really quick fade, less than one second, but gentle.
I don't like the abrupt cut off I get with the current behavior.

Are you using a squeezebox server(SBS) on a separate computer or are you

I did the listed configuration mods including turning off the analog
outs. Major difference? No, but there is a small one (at least in my
system). Just a bit more clarity in what seems like sounds that are set
further back in the soundstage. Maybe that translates into improved
calrity throughout?

I don't get the comparison to a Hiface. The primary purpose of these
mods is to improve the quality of the analog outs. I don't see how a
HiFace improves on that. You still need a separate DAC to get an analog

good as the modded

someone of us are using Touch only for its analog output, which can be

Pure analog out with the mods is very good on both an absolute and
relative scale. It's a great source for a second/third system.
I am not using Touch's digital out. That's what TP is for.

On your player (or on your iPENG) select "mysqueezebox.com" as your

I want to use my Iphone with Ipeng to remote control my Squeeze Touch,

Does anyone know a fix?
