Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch chokes on 24/96, SB3 does not

Thanks for the troubleshooting suggestions, guys, and sorry I didn't revisit this thread sooner. The problem was the DAC in the NAD T754 receiver. It is supposed to handle 24/96, but for some reason it doesn't. I took the Touch to a friend's house and 24/96 worked fine sent to his DAC. I ended

LMS runs great on linux, all my SB servers I've ever had have been on some form of linux. Are you looking to get a general purpose machine that runs linux to do other standard tasks as well as running LMS or do you want a machine that just runs LMS? John S. ---

Hi simple sily answer N O you didnt wanna do that. remember a router is a part of your security system - adding 3rd party Software like LMS or something adds the security holes from these 3rd party apps directly to your router. so you dont wanna do that. And - a router is designed as a lowcost

I have just installed a new Netgear N900 router which can be used to network an external hard drive via its USB ports. I currently use a PC as the server but would like to shift to a NAS, preferably using the above set-up. Before I buy a HD can anyone tell me if this is possible with the SBTs o

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch | 12v power supply - minimum required A?
