Thank you steve-g! Highly appreciated!
I may indeed go to the piCore player on a Raspberry-pi with a touch screen as an alternative to the Touch. Still somewhere deep down I feel that, although the Touch is old (end of 2009 if I am correct), there might be some potential in it. I do not have the in-depth knowledge on the SW and HW aspects, so it is difficult to substntiate this feeling and what I write below is pure speculation from my part and might be totally wrong: The USB interface would be USB2.0 I assume and even though initially designed as an input, Triode (big respect!) managed via EDO to let it operate as an output. That for sure must eat away some processing power. On the other hand no real music-decoding has to take place in EDO->USB mode, so some processing power might be saved (unless audio decoding happens in some side-DSP). At that time (EDO announced in 2012) 192kHz bitrate was already outrageous, so it already felt like wooow. You seem to suggest that the Touch (with EDO) reports itself to the LMS with a max playback rate of 192kHz. What if it did announce itself with for example a maximum playback rate of 384kHz? There may also be buffering issues at higher bitrates which might be bound to memory capacity limitations. I haven't seen Triode around here for a long time (I wasn't active here for a long time myself), so it might be difficult to get to the real bottom of this, but it would for sure be interesting to here more about it. I know, Raspberry Pi's are plenty powerful, so why bother?! Well maybe because I still like my Touch too much :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jma2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111216 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
