| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? It's too bad that more dealers don't try to promote higher end (2) channel systems as an alternative to surround sound. Although, the current "norm" of multi-channel design provides a niche for me!Really? I have rarely ever found a high-end dealer... | |
| Squeezeboz Touch and high rez files The Touch, itself, cannot handle a 192kHz file at all. It is the SqueezeServer on the PC or Mac that will downsample the file to a format acceptable to the player. It will downsample to lower bitrates for other SB players.However, if you try to pl... | |
| Squeezeboz Touch and high rez files I know nothing about Macs but the SBT plays 24/96 files and 24/192 files (downsampled to 24/96) from my PC wirelessly.Kal | |
| Using Oppo as DAC? The Oppos have USB inputs but they are moderately restrictive in what they will accept.Kal | |
| When have A/B comparisons led you astray? Same mechanism. Neural adaptation and it is a common source of bias in long term even more than with A/B comparisons.I recall a study done at a hifi show. Subjects made a blind preference choice between two options (speaker vs. speaker, or tube am... | |
| Marantz AV8003 Processor It really depends on the particular player whether all the outputs are simultaneously active or not.Kal | |

| Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive? I have used the Touch in 3 systems, wired and wireless, and not had any problems. If you are having problems, it is external to the SBT or, possibly, you have a defective one.Kal | |
| Logitech Squeezebox vs. Sonos Logitech Touch--AFAIK, the newest of the three, GUI on unit, simplest remote, coax, optical, and USB outs. The USB is an input but can be patched to be an output. Will I need a Wi-Fi router to use the remotes? No. Ability to handle 24/96, 24/192,... | |
| What I learned on Audiogon This Year Do not make an absolute judgment. Someone will always dispute it (and rightly so). | |
| Two Amplifiers Connected in Parallel? "Besides the extra power it is generally thought that bi amping provided better definition and increases transparency."I would add this is far from a universal opinion.Kal | |
| Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive? It is hard to know exactly what is feeding the SBT unless you defeat one. At least, that's how I figured out my problems with a PC-based system. I have no idea what is involved with Apple stuff and I had to look up AEBS.Kal | |
| Grilles or No Grilles Stanwal-I know what you are saying but, in the context of this thread, it seems that most people are generalizing and, unfortunately, I took your statement as an example. Of course, the original post is a little confusing as it refers first to "a ... | |
