Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I just went and checked Spotify out again, after reading your post. I don't see anything that would indicate that you can download 24/192 files from Spotify. If I am wrong, please let us know. Getting hi res... 
JRiver & Logitech Squeezebox Touch Problem
How about the CDs that you ripped previously? Are those still showing up right? Is it just the CDs that you ripped recently? Where do you have the files stored? Did you check the properties of some of the troublesome files to see if the metadata i... 
Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod
Are you saying that Spotify streams at 24/192? Back when I tried it, it was very limited. I don't remember exactly what it was, but I do know that I stuck with MOG, which had the best sound quality for me. MOG streams at 320kbps, which is high for... 
A question about power supplies
Thanks for the reply, and yeah...I figured that since I had it, I may as well play around with it. It's capable of up to 18v and up to 5A. I believe that is touch is 5v at 3A.I was wondering if it would make a difference. Now I'll see. 
A system for rock and dance
What do you mean by "digital front end?" Are you looking for some sort of a preamp with music server functions?Well, I don't know about your speakers being too small. I have a pair of Paradigm Studio 10s with a small REL sub and the setup rocks fo... 
Best Way to Play Flac Files
Bondmanp, you're right. Sorry. I had completely forgotten that I did that, although it is done with a 3rd party app that you can install right from the SBT menu.He is also right about not owning a SBT already. If you don't, good luck finding one f... 
How much do you need to spend on a DAC to...
As mentioned, it doesn't take a whole lot to do better than the output on the Mac.I'll add the Emotiva XDA to the list. It's one heck of a bang for the buck. I picked up an XDA-1 when they were clearing them out. I think I paid something like $200... 
Apple Airport Express won't play WAV files
I am not familiar with your type of setup, however, I will say that I believe that .wav files are natively compatible with iTunes. Are you running 16 or 24 bit files? What is your sample rate? Where ever your problem lies, I don't think it's with ... 
Best Way to Play Flac Files
Just to shed some light on options, I'll say that the best way to play flac files is with either a Sonos or Squeezebox Touch, if you have an NAS. Either can be controlled from an iPad, iPod, iPhone, Android device, etc.; and with the NAS, you don'... 
NEED HELP WITH A QUESTION
Man, I had the same thing going on at my house for New Year's Eve. I have a Sonos, a Squeezebox Touch and an AppleTV. We wound up using the AppleTV a lot that night because it was a simple matter of either playing music from files on my NAS, MOG o... 
Dac - Preamp connection problems
Have you tried connecting another source to the Aux in on your preamp, to make sure that the input is working right? Does the DAC have a volume control? If so, turn it up or disable it. Is there an input/output incompatibility between the DAC and ... 
small speakers for small room
I've done a lot of playing around with small speakers in the last couple of years, because my wife insisted on having an entertainment center, which limited my speaker choices to those under 13" tall and they were being place on shelves.I've had g... 
Streaming via SONOS Bridge vs. iPhone
Man, I'm sorry. I completely misunderstood your question.I won't pretend to understand things like jitter and such, which, from what I understand, have a vast impact on sound quality. I also do not have any sort of dock for an iPod and have never ... 
Using a receiver as a pre-amp...many questions
I understand that watching movies is important to you, but I noticed that you are only running l+r, a center channel and a sub. Due to limited space and not being able to place surround speakers, I was doing the same thing that you are. Just runni... 
Using a receiver as a pre-amp...many questions
Oh, I also meant to ask whether you've had any experience with any other gear? I've always found Integra gear to be a bit thin in the sound.
