Hi, I love the whole concept of the Squeezebox model, and I am fairly tech savvy but need help regarding the ins and outs of hi-fi sound, DACs, etc.
My first question boils down to: 1. I purchased a Pioneer 919-AHk home theater receiver last year and have Energy Take Classic 5.1 surround speaker setup. I am considering getting the Squeezebox Touch so that I can enjoy my music library and my Rhapsody subscription through my entertainment system. (Currently I listen through my desktop's 2.1 speaker setup...crappy) Here is my receiver's specs: * Power Output: 7 x 120 watts (1 kHz, THD 0.05 %, 8 ohms) * Audio formats supported: DTS®-HD, DTS® Express, Dolby® TrueHD, and Neural-THX Surround * Phase Control bass management system * Stream Direct for pure and unprocessed digital sound playback * 192 kHz/24-bit DAC * Digital audio connections: 2 optical inputs, 1 digital coaxial input * 5.1-channel pre-amp input * Subwoofer pre-amp output Logitech markets the Touch as having "Audiophile" components, but I am not sure what I will be gaining over the receiver I currently have, etc. Is my receiver the better DAC?? I want to get my feet wet with an awesome hi-fi audio system that I can use with Rhapsody. What should I be doing??
