Then I respectfully submit something is not hooked up properly (and hooking the touch to the netbook doesn't even make any sense...that's not how it works, so I'm not sure what you were listening to), but I won't argue the point, to each their own.

Oh > boy. Back to square 1. No I'm not really recommending this. Even with a new DAC, you'll need a computer to run some software to stream music to the DAC. The TOUCH is a wonderful player, with a very good internal DAC. But if you want to use the TOUCH, it needs to talk to a computer that is running SqueezeBoxServer and has access to your music library. Now if you don't want that computer, you have the choice of using the TOUCH's internal "tinySbS" and hook a USB drive with your music to the TOUCH itself. But the TOUCH needs a SERVER (either its own tiny server or some other computer on your local network acting as the server). -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85420 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
