Price/quality >ratio of SB3 is splendid of course! I meant: squeezebox is a nice piece of hardware, squeezecenter is a nice piece of software, but they are not "the best of all on the surface of the earth" (there are better hadware/software). Somebody who wants to play media files through brutefir+a soundcard digital out and control it with a "hand device" has many other (simpler?) choices like drive any dlna software with a pda or itunes with an itouch (or anything like this). >>Quote: >>Originally Posted by vrobin View Post >>Maybe you should use some pda/itouch/jive remote (when it >>comes) to control a softsqueeze that plays through your >>soundcard. > >I agree this is an alternative I should look into! :) Don't you want a mac+itunes with a nice soundcard? ;) It would be less strange than using squeezebox+its remote as a simple ir receiver+nice lcd panel (as in the setup you want, squeezebox is nothing less than an ir receiver+lcd display). >>Quote: >>Originally Posted by vrobin View Post >>I'm not sure SB digital output is "that bad" but for sure it >>won't do what you're trying to do with brutefir.

As a light audiophile and strong music lover, I try to banish everything that changes the signal. A few years back I banished GraphicEQ to keep "untouched sound" for the same reason. Why bought expensive pure cables if before the sound get through it, it's change by many mathematics equations! For the same reason (and long listening tests/experiences), friends of mine put their Tact devices on ebay. >I do have a Apogee Mini DAC, it doesn't upsample though and I >don't see any reason why I would want it to... In my experience >upsampling sounds different but not necessarily better. My only experience with upsampling is 3DLab D/A Converter (192k upsample) and foobar secret rabbit and they both are very positive experiences... >Also I don't see why digital X-over would cost me money, >I will use brutefir for this as well.. I was talking about hardware digital filters that AFAIK costs a lot of money.
