[SlimDevices: Touch] RCA Output while in standby

Hello ! I have recently bought a Emotiva A-100 amp which has a very nice function : it detects when a signal comes from the stereo RCA input to automatically power. Problem is, I have hooked up my squeezebox touch and it seems that there is always current on the RCA output (like the digital one),

[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch considered lower SQ than CD player on a high-end system?

2012-12-06 Thread gln2
I'm wondering if the Touch's analogue output is generally considered inferior to a mid-level CD player WHEN USING a high-end receiver/amp and speakers. (I realize a DAC can be a big improvement, but I'm not up to that step yet.) For those who have listening experience using high-end equipment

2012-12-06 Thread garym
Short answer is there should be no difference unless your cd player has a much better built in Dac. That's unlikely unless you have a cd player costing more than 750, and even then who knows. More likely, the touch is not as loud as the cd player so you probably just perceive the slightly

This is one of those very difficult to answer in the general sense. I have a $1200 CD player that does not sound as good as the Touch, but a $4000 one which is a lot better. Non of my less than $1000 players are better than the Touch, but that does not mean it is universally true. I certainly

Unfortunately it's not quite this simple, a number of the important files get regenrated at boot time (I don't remember exactly which ones) so just changing the file doesn't work. server.prefs should not be re-generated - and that's where most changes would go. Just make sure the server is
