this won't affect sound quality at all. The server is only important for getting the bits to your TOUCH (whether "tinyLMS" inside the TOUCH that you are currently using or LMS running on a sheevaplug, or win computer or mac computer or NAS, etc.). There is no affect on audio quality. This said, the effect may be on things like the data delivery (buffering, dropouts, etc.). There is an advantage of using a computer (sheeva, nas, or more powerful computer) in terms of ability to use more plugins, access to LMS via webGUI, etc. I assume you have a computer, just install LMS on your computer and then serve music from it to the TOUCH and see what you think about it. Sound quality should be identical, but browsing, etc. may be snappier. -- garym *Location 1:* VB Appliance 6TB (1.10) > LMS 7.7.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VB Appliance 3TB (2.0) > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.1 > SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93911 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
