OK, I did some experimenting and found the following: 1) 96/24 ALAC on USB Stick connected directly to the Touch - Digital Screech and then silence.
In fact it overloaded my receiver and the protection kicked in and I paniced and reset my Touch to factory in my attempts to get some/any music to play. After I finally figured out what happened and it was working correctly again, most of the listening was thru the headphone out, so I wouldn't accidently blow my amp. 2) 16/44.1 ALAC on USB Stick connected directly to Touch - Plays Perfectly! 3) 24/48 ALAC on USB Stick (some of my needledrops) direct to Touch - Digital Static and nothing just like the 96/24 files. 4) ALL of the same files play perfectly thru either the Touch's digital or analog or headphone jacks when using the full SBS on my Windows 7 laptop server. So in conclusion, the Touch doesn't like anything above 16/44.1 with ALAC at least with the firmware that I currently have (7.5.3-r31792 as noted earlier). I had tried it when I first got the Touch and had a couple of issues with it skipping every once in awhile with the 96/24 tracks although at the time I thought it was because of having a 2tb hard drive attached to the Touch with around 50,000 tracks as just being too much for the Touch's internal server to handle. So I installed on my desktop, then got a laptop to be primarily a server. So it is not an isolated problem that only you have. Which may either be good or bad news, depending on how you look at it :) But it would seem like your NAS is not transcoding the ALAC properly which is why you may be having the issue. Hope all of my testing helps you in some way. -- rayman1701 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86182 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
