That's what I said ;) On one system we do exactly that to pass a 24/96 bitstream through a Touch to a tubed output stage DAC. Digital output only in the EDO settings. The Touch can certainly handle 24 bits. But the Touch's analog output stage can not compete with a tubed DAC output stage. Once 24-bit media became mainstream, I find we only spin our vinyl on Sundays anymore. It is that close, but the LMS is 1000x more convenient. I know Sonos is a more plug-and-play all-in-one solution. But the Squeezebox is worth the small extra effort. Even our Chromecast soundbar can handle 24-bit streams. There is no excuse in late 2018 for lacking 24-bit audio capability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109764 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
