| Do you need a DAC for internet radio only? I have had no problems at all (knock on wood, knock on wood) with my SB Duet. You can see from the SB forum however, that there are a lot of documented occurrences and issues - especially with the older software versions. My Duet has been reliable... | |
| Hard Drive versis Flash Drive Since EAC is free, try downloading it to your Dell to see if it is compatible. EAC is very good ripping software, although it is slow. It will provide you with bit-perfect rips (I highly recommend ripping in flac - especially if you go with the Du... | |
| Do you need a DAC for internet radio only? If you get the Duet, you should try ripping some CDs or downloading some lossless files. You will be very surprised at how good these music files will sound compared to your CDs played via your CD player. Then, think how good the same files will s... | |
| Do you need a DAC for internet radio only? Not really. The Duet has its own internal DAC (actually a pretty good one at that - Wolfson) so you can just use it to "stream" internet radio via your preamp. A good external DAC will definitely improve the quality of playback if you're feeding t... | |

| I2S mods on Squeezebox To know what you can do with the Duet, all you need is the schematic.Actually Kal, all YOU need is a schematic. For ME, it would be completely useless! I am not that "techy." I do know what I want to achieve though, and I know the reason why I2S ... | |

| I2S mods on Squeezebox Thanks you guys.Ya Clorody, I am progressing. One thing has led to another. First I looked into simply modding the receiver, and then I read up on re-clocking, which lead to I2S details. PS Audio's new PWD altogether eliminates the need to use S/P... |
