Heh, that's what I did too. Also, the piCore would process 192 FLACs, where the Squeezebox Touch wouldn't (I never installed Triode's upgrade). I experienced that problem with the earler version of piCoreplayer / Marantz HDMI combo, but later versions corrected it (or maybe it was because I switched over to ralphy's version). It can still be finicky at times with the handshake order, though.
