There are more and more posts about these SB Touch tweaks: http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/p/squeezebox-touch-great-base-for-network.html
Frankly, I do not see the point! What is the point of having SB Touch and not using any of its its features?! No SD card, no USB, no integrated native FLAC decoder, only wired connecton... and if you want ultimate sound quality no screen! Should I sell my new Touch then? Buy a M2Tech HiFace USB to SPDIF converter instead and save myself lots of money? Touch that is striped of all its functions, in practical use is the same thing as M2Tech HiFace: a SPDIF output thingy connected to a PC with a wire (ethernet or USB, its wired). Does it mean that we waisted our money on touch screen, WiFi module, USB interface, SD card reader, etc? Because we must not use them if we want the ultimate sound quality! HiFace is about two to three times cheaper that Touch. ...And judging from some reviews it could even have better SPDIF out. But this is not everything! For a similar amount of money (365$) compared to Touch, we will be able buy this: http://www.tweekgeek.com/_e/Portable_Computer_Audio/product/Evo/Evo_USB_to_SPDIF_Interface.htm [image: http://www.tweekgeek.com/zoom_img/_1276156400.jpg] [image: http://www.tweekgeek.com/zoom_img/_1276156128.jpg] For a similar amount of money, it will have much more SPDIF functionality/versatility than this striped down Touch, ...and the SPDIF out quality could be much better. So what is the point of tweaking Touch in this extreme way!? If you bought Touch with all its features, you should use it as it is. And yes, over SPDIF it sounds really good (as it is). IF YOU WANT ULTIMATE SPDIF PERFORMANCE AND YOU DON'T NEED FEATURES AS WIRELLES, USB, SD, TOUCH SCREEN, ETC, YOU SHOULD BUY SOMETHING ELSE, OR YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR MONEY ON THE STUFF YOU DISABLED/DISCONNECTED. Or all the fun is in tweaking linux code and not listening to and enjoying the actual music?! :D . -- Kuja ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kuja's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80013 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
