I'm streaming music from the PC in my office to the audio system in my living room via the SBT. It sounds good but I'd like to improve it. I'm aware that I can run the SBT output through a better DAC but I'm thinking that will cost several times the price of the SBT in order to hear an improvement. Is there anything that I can do on the PC end prior to the signal leaving the PC. I'm aware of different players like Foobar, JRiver, etc. and enhancements to iTunes such as Pure Music but will any of these even matter since the files don't "play" through those interfaces.
Unless I am confused, I don't think using any of the other players will get you anything. You are using Logitech Server software to get the music from your library to your SB Touch.
A lot depends on where you are coming from. If you are trying to beat a high dollar cdp with the Touch, you will definitely need an outboard DAC. If your digital front end is somewhat modest, you will be fairly impressed with the converter in the Touch. Either way, I still recommend adding a better PS.
