I posted a thread this morning about connecting a HDD directly to the Touch and preferring its sound to streaming it wirelessly. Even went so far as to consider 'upggrading' the usb cable :) (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85405)
Well I figured before I do that I should figure how this thing sounds hooked up via ethernet to a computer running the SBS. Had never tried this because my home computer is on a different level of the house and hadn't been imaginiative enough to consider cheap server possibilities. Anyway, I put a good amount of music on my wife's netbook, installed SBS, and plugged it in via ethernet. And WOW! I don't think I'll be going back to running TinySB or to streaming wirelessly ever again if I can help it. I have run my system before on a Rega Apollo cd player and other Rotel players and frankly I think this is the best it has ever sounded. Only problem is I can't use my wife's netbook forever. What cheap solutions are out there for me. Would this work? http://www.recoupit.com/Desktops/Dell/Optiplex-GX270/Dell-Optiplex-GX270-Computer-p9463103.html -- Howard Turkster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Howard Turkster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85420 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
