If one would want to nice to some folks with flawed dac's is it possible to power it off electrically and or kill the ligth on the coax. Some dac designers have been lazy and haven't implemented the correct function to detect and actual stream they just detect any light or electricity as signal ? But on the other hand why should the Squeezebox compensate for errors made by others, turning it of electrically may cause pop's and clicks for all other users while cater for the few people with such a dac ? Or make a 3 way setting "off" "electrically off" "on all the time" -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe'Primare and Dynadio speakers (including a pair of Contour 4 ) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: SB3 + powered Fostex PM0.4 Miscellaneous use: Radio (with battery) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77360 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
