Hello - maybe I can offer some advice re. the NAS as I have some specific experience in this area
The Duo processor is very much tuned for low power and data transfer support; it is not a good processor for running applications - even the Duo's own configuration interface which works similarly to SBS can be sluggish. The net result tends to be that audio streaming usually works very well, but interacting with SBS, particularly via the web interface can be very slow. iPhone based controllers and the like usually work reasonably well, but the sluggishness in things like volume control is probably a consequence of the low powered processor. Regarding ALAC (which I also use), transcoding those to PCM is a separate task to the SBS application and isn't a particularly "heavy" operation. So this is typically well within the capability of the Duo processor. With that in mind & given the reports of intermittent pauses without any real pattern, I'd also be most inclined to first ensure this wasn't an issue of poor wifi reception by temporarily wiring the Touch to the NAS as already suggested - it is the more likely based on the info so far given. Perhaps for the purpose of a test you could temporarily relocate the touch close to the NAS and use some portable speakers if you have them? If that doesn't work, it is possible to analyze the processor utilization - but I would suggest that is a later task only if all else fails. -- snottmonster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snottmonster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45063 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87448 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
