Hi, I had written a very long post outlining my experience with the touch and some problems, but for some reason the forums decided to crap on me.
So here goes again, in shorter version: I primarily bought the SBT for the improved DAC's. The sound is easily better than my SB3 classic on my > $10k amp and speaker system. And the SB3 classic already performed admirably. So I'm happy with that, but there are some problems I bought an SB touch and also a WD MyBook 1,5 TB USB 2.0 external harddrive to house my 310 GB (12400 song mostly FLAC) song collection and to be played back via the built-in server. 1. The UI is sluggish (yes, it has completed the scanning). Navigating albums/artist is somewhat OK but it takes 10 seconds for a song to start playing after pushing play and another 5 seconds for the UI to update. Although that's just annoying the fact that every song restarts after a random amount of time makes this solution useless atm. 2. Using IPeng or Squeemote to control the built-in server is also an annoying experience. Apart from the above mentioned sluggishness an extra 15 seconds is also added for the UI in the IPhone app to update. (As you all know this is done in the blink of an eye when connected to a PC-server.) 3. The display is unreadable for me from 5 meters away (16ft) and because of this I have to resort to using the iPhone at all times to control the SBT. This is with a black background and the largest text size available. This is one area where the old SB3 classic VFD display outshine the new SBT imho. So is there hope for me? Is it likely that future revisions of the firmware or server will bring performance improvements? Are there solutions available that I'm unaware of? Do you think improvements to the readability and contrast of the display will come along? Thanks for any input you might have. //Jörgen 2. -- leadc4ge ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leadc4ge's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38240 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78926
