I have been running the SB touch through a digital coax (rca)to the Cambridge Audio 840C DAC. I played with the upsampling setting recently and I am getting a fairly good sound that is closer to the CD players sound. I am thinking that the intial disapointment had more to do with the unit needing breaking in. With a couple weeks of use it seams to sound better. After learning more I started using WAV for saving disc on FOOBAR But I can't tell a difference from FLAC sound wise.
Squeezebox touch-itunes or not?
I just set up a squeezebox. I am brand new to this. I have started to rip my CD collection to i-tunes library using WAV. First is WAV better than using Apple Lossless? and when the SB server pulls data from I-tunes and sends it to the SB touch does it stay in High Res? Just want to know that I am getting best sound from this process or if I need to save cd's outside of i-tunes to get the best sound quality? I have also read about FLAC? Right now the SB touch is not sounding as good as my Cambridge Audio 840C CD Player. I am running the SB touch through the Cambridge Audio 840C DAC. Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks
