The Pandora app layout is bad. I have to believe it's because it was designed for the Chumby and now it has too much space with the large screen and different aspect ratio. I'd imagine they will create a new one. It did not come with a remote and I have not taken it apart to see if there is IR. I don't think there is...

Thanks for posting the pics! I can't believe how much wasted space there is in some of those Dash screens, especially the Now Playing screen. Dash also doesn't have an infrared receiver, right? At first glance it looks like it could be a great companion to a Squeezebox Receiver -- use the Dash for a large(r) screen control interface.

You might want to consider just getting a Touch. The audiophile section folks say that its much better sounding than the older SqueezeBoxen (like the Duet).

[SlimDevices: Touch] Upgrade Squeezebox Duet to Touch?
I am an audiophile on a budget, so I have opted for using Duet with an external DAC (Beresford Caiman), instead of going with the much more expensive Transport. Some reports claim that Beresford Caiman can match (and even surpass) the DAC that Transport internally uses. However, what is not clear to me is whether the Transport is a better 'transport' for digital signal than Duet or Touch. I am pretty certain that Beresford Caiman is a better DAC than the one that is shipping inside the Touch. What I'm asking here is should I consider replacing my Duet as a 'transport' with Touch? Is Touch a better transport than Duet? Keep in mind that, regardless of whether I upgrade Duet or not, I will be keeping my Beresford Caiman as an external DAC, and will bypass whatever the internal DAC may be. Also, I am not at all interested in convenience (don't care about the user interface, pretty pictures, touch or wheel etc.), only interested in improving the sound. -- magiccarpetride magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78128 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I don't use Spotify or DSBridge, but my understanding is that DSBridge is a computer utility that "bridges" the SBS server program with Spotify servers. So without a computer running to run both SBS and DSBridge then you won't get Spotify. If using the Touch's inbuilt server you are bypassing the need for a computer.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch - first impressions and questions
I think it is too bad that you feel that strongly about those couple things. I , on the other hand, love the touch and the screen is adequate for my use. The functionality is superior and the angle is not a problem for me(the estblished angle keeps the center of rotation lower and therefore affords less falling potential). By keeping the screen smaller, you also can keep the cost lower too. I think there is a setting for larger characters to the screen if visibility is a problem. Some day they may produce a "Squeezepad" that is largerbut I am sure it might also be more costly too. The functions ,to me, that are most important are fidelity,reception,stability,versitility,reliability,display clarity,touch responsiveness,ability to synchronize,etc. For me,screen size is not important nor is the angle. I can live with them. So, enjoy the Squeezebox Touch and the beautiful music,talk radio,athletic events,podcasts,USB compatibility,and all the assets it can bring. I hope after you analyze everything you may publically be a little more positive about your purchase and the relatively short time you had to wait.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch - first impressions and questions
Hi, Well I just got mine today, after the very LONG wait we've all had. I can only say that the display itself is a big big disappointment one two scores (I've only had the thing running for 20 minutes) 1. Size. The major visual difference of this unit is obviously, it's display. Full colour, Album Art, etc etc. So why SO SO small ? Very disappointed on this score. In terms of ease of reading from a distance, the SB3 Classic was superior. 2. Angle of view. If I'm standing up and walking past the unit, I can see the screen. If I sit on the couch opposite it, my eye level is lower and the screen cannot be seen at any other angle. Again, very poor and not as good as my SB3. On the sound, I'm no audiophile, but I can tell there is a big difference in sound quality on my setup. Overall, I'm gutted, after such a long wait, that Logitech have chosen to release the unit with such a poor display functionand so far..the touch-screen function's only benefit is being able to control it up close, after having had to walk up to the unit because I can't see what's on the screen.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Question about iPeng, TinySC and the Squeezebox Touch
I think the question is: can an iPhone control a Touch without a router, just the iPhone and a Touch, no router in the house? Theoretically yes, its called an ad hoc network, but there is no easy way to set it up, it would take a linux networking guru and the equivalent for the iPhone to do it. These systems are designed to work with a router (access point) mediating the wireless network. Its MUCH MUCH easier to set things up with a router in the house, even if the router is not connected to the internet in any way. Of course its best to have the router connected to the internet so you can receive internet radio stations and music services etc. But even if you don't have any internet connection in your house its still best to have a router for the WiFi network.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/192
This is just another example of the lack of accurate information from HDTracks. They ask for more money for their so called high resolution downloads compared to just getting a CD. And yet they dont have accurate information. HDTracks has mislabeled the download here. Or maybe they do have accurate labels in that maybe what was downloaded was only a copy of a CD, not a higher quality SACD ? Previously it was pointed out that HDTracks has represented to this thread inconsistent information about exactly how it creates its digital downloads. And HDTracks website also is vague as to what is the facts about creating the download of its 24/88.2 files because investigation has shown that at least in some cases these downloads are not recorded at that spec, but instead they are converted to that spec later, resulting in a possible misunderstanding of what is being purchased and also resulting in lesser fidelity. Why doesnt HDTracks seem to have any interest in presenting accurate information about what it is selling? These issues are important to this thread because what is the point of a desire for a higher spec Squeezebox if the consumer has no confidence in what he is buying to play on his Squeezebox? -- mortslim mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74688 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] AlbumArt of Songs without(!) Album didn't show up!?
Hi Folks, I have a problem. All my FLAC songs are correctly covered with the proper AlbumArt. If I play a song from a Album (with Album information like: Play House) than I see the correct AlbumArt. BUT: If I play a Song without Album informations, than I only see a default AlbumArt. This happens only on the Touch on the Server I see the proper AlbumArt.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/192
Haven't done more listening yet, but... I noticed that the liner notes provided with the 24/88.2 HDtracks download of the CSO/Haitink Bruckner #7 showed two catalog numbers. CSOR 901 704 and CSOR 901 706. Its scan of the jewel case insert shows CSOR 901 704. I stopped by the CSO's (reduced size) Store last night to see if this was the CD or the SACD. It was the CD. As HDtracks also offers the 16/44.1 standard CD download, I suppose they simply used one scan for both versions. Since the liner notes PDF file name ends in "9017046" this seems likely. Still it would have been nice to see the SACD's catalog number on the scan of the insert. -- R Johnson R Johnson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36462 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74688 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Scan experiences with the internal squeezebox server of the Touch (USB-HD)
While I'm very pleased with the performance of the Touch with my external music server (46,000 songs) I've not had a successful scan by the built-in server in three tries with two different copies of the external backup drives. The first scan ran 14 or 15 hours before I gave up. The next two tries seemed to scan through the drive in 4 or 5 hours only to have the internal server crash at the very end. (And yes, firmware is up to date.) I did try it with a 2 GB USB flash drive and it all worked very nicely. Since the Touch works extremely well for the purpose I bought it for, I'm pleased. However, I can't say I'm impressed with the Tiny SBS function, especially since this was the cause of the four month delay in product release. -- mlsstl mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77600 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
