Okay, I haven't been paying attention to what's been happening in Squeezebox land for a while, just listening to my music as often as I can via my SB Touch. So today, I come across this thread and on a whim and decide to try it out. I really don't have any nice USB DACs but I did try this with a REGA DAC, which has a "convenience" USB interface limited to 48kHz and 16 bits. Well this worked fine with kernel #3. Next I borrowed my son's NuForce Icon uDAC-2 and that worked straight away as well, at least for 44.1/16 audio.
The ridiculous thing is that the NuForce is sounding better than the REGA when connected this way to my ears. Of course the real value of doing this comes Asynchronous USB. I am thinking NuForce does a special edition of their Icon uDAC-2 with Asynchronous USB for $250...I'm pretty tempted right now. I must say, triode, you've blazed a very useful trail here. Many thanks for the hard work it must have taken! -- dsdreamer ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93310 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
