Hi all, I am considering buying a SB touch to add in with my current marantz amp/cd combo player. I was wondering what the best way to run it with.
I don't particularly want to turn on my pc to use it and neither do I want to get a NAS drive so either an external hard drive or a small number of high capacity SD cards/usb sticks. Pretty much all my music is regular cds which I have ripped as wma lossless in Windows Media Player. From my understanding the Touch can only support this format when streaming so I will need to convert to FLAC. I have tried it in foobar and it seems to work. Anything I should be careful of regarding tags etc? I care little for album art images personally. One thing I realised I can do is whilst converting all my music to FLAC is upsample it in SOX from 16/44 to 16/96 (except for the odd hdcd I have I see no reason to use 24/96?). Would this be beneficial for the SB's DAC or should I just leave it in original form. Certainly would use up a fair amount of extra space to upsample it but beyond that it's not really extra hassle as it needs to be converted anyway. -- bassedolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bassedolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91816 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
