Thanks to both of you. I'm hoping for more perspective on this. I just looked at the file info on the SB Touch. Never realized you could see all that info on bitrate, etc. It does show 192/24 on at least one album. Another from HDTRACKS shows 176.4/24 Does that mean it is playing at that rate? I know this is a stock SBT, we bought it new.
Replace Squeezebox Touch and improvement in SQ
I use the SB Touch with wireless connect to my network. Bypass the DAC out to a Wyred4Sound DAC-2. Down the chain is ARC tubes / Martin Logan Vantage. Listen to local FLAC files only.
1.) I'm not using the SB Touch DAC, but would I "greatly" benefit from upgrading the streamer/player (and continue to use an outboard DAC)? At what price point? Recommendations? Consider a budget of $300-$1,000 for used equipment.
***Also plan to upgrade the DAC soon - ~$2k budget used.
2.) In general, is there a difference in sound quality using WiFi vs Ethernet?
