| msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks Jsadurni- If it's not connected to a DAC, the Squeezebox's digital output would be useless.AFAIK, Vinny's mod did not improve the clock and or voltage regulation feeding the Squeezebox's SPDIF chip. IMO, there's nothing wrong with the technology. ... | |
| msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks "I got an early version of the Squeezebox, then got the best modded version and when the excitement cooled down I compared the highly modded Squeezebox running direct with only WAV files harvested with EAC, against my old Musichall cd25 the cd pla... | |
