Yes, the TOUCH will play 24/96 FLAC natively install the Free SqueezeBoxServer Software from the website. This will then catalog your music files, etc. (you can also continue to use any other program you were using...this won't interfere with that). Wireless G is fine, but you need a good signal for streaming 24/96 FLAC files. Wired is always better (in my opinion). Not from a sound quality point of view, just from a data transmission (no buffering, interference, etc.). this said, wifi can work just fine. You can output from both the RCA and the digital at the same time (both are live at the same time) and switch back and forth to see what you like the best. The DAC in the TOUCH is pretty good. So it would depend on the DAC in your receiver. But you can use both! Yes, it should all work beautifully! -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86375 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
