The point of this thread is to get async USB working so that an ASYNC
DAC can be connected via USB to the Touch, minimising jitter. Putting
s/pdif back into the setup does not minimise jitter!

You want to see
of advice on Kitz for setting on
Vista; I haven't followed that yet (ain't broken now so why fix it)...
The best fix for Vista is to replace it with Win7 - fast, stable and
above all reliable.

yeah - you are having the problem ONLY with HDTracks? - this is a
well-known problem with HDTracks encoding of FLAC files. They do
something really weird to their FLAC files...

Whatever your problem is, it is unusual/rare and almost certainly
something to do with your Windows setup/machine. Do you get this
problem with EVERY long hi-res file you play?

posts by Logitech. The hardware does not
have the correct clock hardware circuit to play 176.4 by the way
(although in theory it could do 192).
If you can't do realtime transcoding of 192 to 96 because your server
is underpowered, just transcode them off-line via SOX.

What you prefer is of course down to you, but your explanation of why
is just... wrong. Easily proven by turning off wireless security...

Musepack is dead...really dead. Just use Foobar to convert them to flac
and be happy/enjoy the music.

can you not just rip them normally instead of using cuesheets? -
cuesheets are not useful in the context of streaming.

with utmost care they may
fail to load when you come to actually need one years later...
Cuesheets are an anachronism. They were useful in the dim and distant
past when burning CDR's was the only cost effective backup mechanism
and when gapless playback was tricky. Neither of these is now true.

play the file in SBT, it plays the first track, and when I advance I
get the right metadata in the display...but it just keeps playing the
first track.
What am I doing wrong?

Install foobar 2k. Open wv.cue file in Foobar and convert wv file to
individual flac files. Enjoy.

If you are connected to a local server, the time is taken from that
machine - which is naturally assumed to be set to your correct local
time. The timezone setting on the Touch is only used when connected to
MYSB.com.

not store Time Zone whereas
the Touch does.
Correct: the Classic does not store the time...
what operating system do you have on the server - and is the timezone
set correctly on that server?

the files to wave and than
back again to flac (both are lossless, but ..)
who knows what could cause the problem?
no - there will be no loss of quality moving back and forwards between
flac and wav.
