Hello - yes, I'm interested in the same feature. Here's the Power Switch II page: http://www.gwendesign.com/slimserver/dev_hard_and_software.htm#powerswitchii In its simplest form it looks to me like it must put a steady positive voltage on one of the headphone channels, which is then amplified by a transistor and used to switch a relay. It should still work with a Touch (which has a headphone output which you wouldn't be using with an amp) providing the headphone output can be controlled separately (I don't know if it might be tied to the analogue outputs which I use, rather than feeding an external DAC). Ideally I'd prefer to use the 5V supply from the Touch's USB port and a small 5V relay to save having another power supply wasting energy. (The alternative is to go for a Denon receiver like the AVR1713 which can be controlled remotely using DenonAVPControl http://code.google.com/p/denonavpcontrol/ and still seems to be an active project) Anyone else using Power Switch II? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simon300's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30835 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92432 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
