what you perceive as harshness. But only you can tell for sure.
Happy listening!

No, it's not normal. Try another plug, perhaps, before returning the
unit.

or do I
need to use the Coaxial S/PDIF connection to get true 24bit output?
The 840C lies. Pay no attention to it. Do not switch to coax.

, download and install the Ethernet version of TT3.0. It will
automatically disable WLAN and you should be in business. Works with a
bridge for me.

Perhaps you could borrow a different DAC to test if it's your Touch or
your DAC that has the problem.

Hi everyone,
After 3 years I have decided to sell out my Squeezebox Duet and I have
bought a Squeezebox Touch which is connected to a Little Dot DAC. I use
IPengHD on my iPad to control my system. I have got Squeezebox server
installed on my laptop and all my FLAC files

Personally, I found that uncompressed FLAC sounds (marginally) better to
my ears than level 5 compression, which I had been using for a while.

Guido you are right I have noticed that option as well but I have never

Good point about the possibility of updating the Linux distro through
the optical drive. I am so tempted to place the order in

Garym/Guido,
Thanks. I fully agree with what you advised.
I have just decided to get it from the original website. The model is
the essential one

Would you recommend me the dual core rather

I see thanks. Which one do you have single or dual core? Would you
please advise me?
The VBAs sold in the US are all Gigabit Ethernet, I believe (1000Mb/s).
That's what i have. I would buy the dual core, if I were you, assuming
you either have or will have Gigabit Ethernet

It looks like the OP has things sorted out, but just a clarification.
The Vortexbox software is an entire Linux distribution that _replaces_
the current OS. Therefore it does not have to be loaded in some other
linux-based computer. A x86 computer running any existing OS
