No damage, but when the task you set on high priority hangs or behaves wrong you may won´t be able to even start the Task Manager in Windows. Maybe data-loss can occure when another application accessed data in this moment. This was most problematic with single core CPUs. These days we have multi-cores but also applications that are multi-threaded :) At least this is still my understanding of basic computing. Expecting sound changes here is at least "terrific" until your hardware is not ready for the the task. -- Wombat Transporter (modded) -> RG142 -> Avantgarde Acoustic based 500VA monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakers Wombat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90312 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

what really gets me is Hi Fi News: they have people like Jim Lesurf who knows exactly what he's talking about and talks nothing but sense, then Keith Howard who appears to be very technically sound but has become a fan of NOS dacs, and then you have this month someone giving a rave review to a device which supposedly converts all the odd harmonic distortion of a digtal device to second harmonic.

No I didn't! - I said I had a new linear (Teddy Pardo / Audiocom). It does sound nice; so did the old one. I'm not sure it's worth the £275 one would normally have to spend to buy one though... I haven't done any proper testing on it yet. There's only so much time/money... I'm waiting to get a second Touch to act as a "control".

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
Sounds like a difficult problem, but just a note about a scare I had on the weekend. . . I had my Boom playing on the deck, and went inside and turned on the TP, which is normally synced to the Boom. Nothing. No sound, nothing. Turned on, turned off, etc etc. Got panicked, until I realized that the audio on the TP had been turned down, as had the volume on the stereo. The little bit that was coming through was drowned out by the sound from the Boom leaking through the door to the deck. All is now well.

If anyone thinks they can sort this out over the phone, I am MORE than willing to give my number out or call. I would much rather keep this device than dealing with returning it/waiting for shipping label. I also believe that is has to be a simple solution. After talking to the Help Center at Logitech and doing all the resets, I have no alternative but to return upon their request since it could not be solved with a tecnician over the phone. -- artintampa artintampa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49578 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
