How do I get the most out of the Squeezebox Touch
Search the Squeezebox forum under the Audiophile section. There is talk about installing some plug-ins/software optimizing the server to improve streaming quality. I haven't tried them myself yet, but from reading the postings it supposedly does m... 
SB Touch w/upgraded power supply: good next step?
Lewinskih01The bridge will allow you to connect to an existing WiFi network. If you already have a router that has the capability to extend your current WiFi network, that will work too. You will get more Ethernet ports that way.If the funds are l... 
SB Touch w/upgraded power supply: good next step?
Obviously the power supply, dac, and SoundCheck mod all make incremental improvements. If money is an issue and you don't hear any clicking sounds through your speaker using the stock walwart, I would say hold off for now. Get a wireless adapter l... 
Best optical cable from Apple TV to DAC
I second Tom6897 recommendation. I've used it from my cable box to HT receiver. In it's price range, I have't found anything better. 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
Badwisdom,I've heard the DAC with a MAC+Amarra at the dealer and you won't be disappointed. 
Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player
Mapman,I do use an external DAC. What you mean by "tried mod to disable wireless" always adds confusion on the SB forums. So we are on the same page, when I say disabling the wireless mod actually means the wireless radio is ON. When you try the m... 
Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player
IMO, if you have a SBT and haven't tried Soundcheck's TT3 mod, then you are really missing out. It may not make sense why wireless being disabled has any SQ affects or any of the mods, but this is one of those where you have to let your ears be th... 
Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player
Mapman,It may not sound veiled at first, but once you apply SoundCheck's mod that disables wireless you will discover how more transparent and detailed the sound gets. Veiled may not be the correct term to use if you are using wireless but you wil... 
Too many DAC decisions
Depending on the type of sound you are looking for, here is the list I've listened toRega - decent solid dac. Has the Rega house sound if you are familiar with Rega gear. I liked it at first, but was wanting more.Northstar USB - silky smooth, tran... 
External HD question
Sufentanil,Yes you can run the server software on certain NAS devices, but the NAS device may be under powered if you want to use the optimal settings. For example, it's recommended to have the server stream the FLAC as PCM so the SBT doesn't have... 
Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player
I highly recommend installing SoundCheck's software mod and his recommendation of using a linear power supply and ethernet cable. His mod disables the wireless which aides in improving the sound. On his blog, he a has very detailed step by step in... 
External HD question
I think you may want to look into the SqueezeBox Touch. I've had great success with it. You would still need to keep your netbook but you can at least store that away in another room to stream your music to the SB Touch. Then with an Android or "i... 
Subsonic music streaming app
Found another highly recommended product similar to SqueezePlayer. You can find it in iTunes AppStore called iPeng. There is an add-on you can purchase to turn your "i" device to a Squeezebox device. You can access your library remotely similar to...

Just checked the forums and there is mention of SqueezeCast which supposedly similar to SqueezePlayer. Checked it out in Apple store and it's $4.99. Read this thread about ithttp://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83731 
Subsonic music streaming app
My bad. I thought it was available for the "i" devices. When looking at the website, it mentions AppStore which I assumed was the iTunes AppStore.
