drmatt Thanks Matt. You gave me an idea. I brought up the Select Digital Output screen with the USB cable disconnected. The option to use the USB output does not appear. Then I reconnected the cable and the option reappears. This indicates to me that the Touch "sees" the DAC, so there is some communication happening. The Question is, does the DAC see the Touch? No tricks here. Even at the time of the "magic" fix my mind was so fried that I couldn't put my finger on what exactly had worked. Over a year later, no chance of coming up with it. The voltmeter is a good idea. Mine quit a while back, but this is a good excuse to by another. If the problem really is the 5 volt circuit, Ronnie's suggestion of the "Y" USB setup looks promising. But it does require adding another power source to the mix, something I'd like to avoid in the long term. I have been using the coax and Toslink outputs. And the 7.7.5 server is stable, so I am not musicless. But the USB does sound better and I miss it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ markbrauer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63564 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
