Foobar (which I use a lot but not as a player...) can indeed drive the USB ports cleanly. Sadly it lacks a lot of features as a player (for me). However, if there was a Foobar plugin that talked to SBS... I'd need musicIP support and (more importantly) Inguz convolver integration or an Inguz convolver substitute. For me this is not urgent because the Touch spdif is very good IMO...but I would like alternatives. If only Squeezeplay could be made to support a proper set of sample rates... actually if it could only be persuaded to do 24/96 I'd be happy! I'd then use Squeezeplay (on a Netbook) to drive a V-link (+V-PSU) into my M1 -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
