When the Touch was first available I replaced a SB Receiver with a Touch. Both units were/are connected via the digital output to an external DAC and there was/is a vast improvement in the sound quality between the Receiver and the Touch. So Mnyb is quite correct in stating that upgrading to a Touch when used in a critical listening location is a very good idea. ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94871 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

For the person who thinks you may actually be able to turn green into gold, (a la Blackadder) I cringe. Well, I don't actually, because if you are Lord Percy, then your american buddy Baldrick deserves everything he gets. Does the new Linn set-up play Spotify? No. It has just transformed my entire listening experience - Spotify et al. pandasharka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94770 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

If I had a quid for every time I heard someone say "No, I haven't tested it double-blind because I'm confident I can hear the difference" I'd have £11. Sorry, make that £12 now! ;) I'm not claiming there is no difference - just that I don't even trust my OWN ears against the placebo effect, never mind other people's. No one is immune to it.

I'll have to try it out and see. I've been using Phil Leighs 'custom-convert.conf' for Inguz which uses 'sox' to upsample all 44.1k audio to 96k. I modified his 'custom-convert.conf' to upsample everything to 192k and everything is working well. Inguz is upsampling to 24/192k and my DAC is receiving audio as 24/192k. So in short - yes, Inguz works with Triodes EDO app. Bob bobertuk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30376 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94855 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

I'll have to try it out and see. Inguz is all server side and this is all done on the Touch player so don't see why they can't coexist.
