Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch review - WeGotServed
Ahh that will be the WHS console. It does behave as you describe but (to my knowledge) only for Windows updates, not updates to plugins such as Squeezebox server. It would be nice if it did though. It does. At least it should. If you're on 7.5.0, then you might see it in a few days... -- Michael ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Duet + dacmagic or Touch
Hi, A rapid test between my SB Touch and my CA 640V2 CD player (CD ripped with EAC to flac and test by switching CD/Touch source) . The CA 640 v2 is the clear winner, better definition, accuracy... SB touch should be better than duet with theoretically a better DAC, powerfull cpu (better to decode hd stream) (and probably handier you can even use android or iphone as remote). I think that dac magic (or better dac) should give better result. One of the problem for duet or touch is the power unit and probably analog circuitry (audiophile grade ?!).

You need to level the volumes from the SB and CDP first (ideally with a sound pressure level meter) to get a meaningful comparison, even for a rapid test. Also, you seem to suggest that one of the Touch's advantages over the Duet is that you can use android or iPhone as a remote. Actually you can use an Android phone or iPhone (or iPod Touch) as a remote control for the Duet as well.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Checking Plugin Compatibility with Touch
@peterw, can you provide a little more detail on the import process you
mention? Would I save that line of code as a txt file, e.g.
EnableStatusFirst.txt and then import it somewhere in the Settings
interface in SBS? Also, would {plugin.StatusFirst::disabled:1}
accomplish the opposite?
@ralphpny, search on the Radio does seem easier/faster than the stock
search on the Classic, but I think I'm going to miss LazySearch!
@erland, thanks for the heads up. I run a dedicated server, but I am
curious about using the USB or SD slot at the same time. If I plug in
one of these devices, does it cause TinySC to take over or simply show
up as an additional music source under the control of SBS?
Thanks again if you reply.

tomasito;554045 Wrote: Hello, I posted this inquiry in the audiophile section, didn't get any comments on it. Maybe I'll try my luck in this forum. Perhaps somebody in this forum might want to share their comments about it. Here it is: I have a decent stereo system that I hook up the squeezebox duet to. What would you guys suggest to improve the sonics, pairing my duet with a dacmagic or getting the squeezebox touch and replacing the duet with it? with the later option I will move/hook up the duet receiver in my garage. I have two Duets - one stock and one heavily modded (see the DIY section for details). Based on the Duet circuit, your results will vary with what you plan to do. By this I mean: 1. If you use the analog outs of the Duet or Touch, the Touch is better for reasons of DAC chip quality, power supply and clock layout. My guess is a heavily modded Duet analog out will not match the Touch. 2. If you go digital out then it will depend on your DAC. Based on what I know of the stock Duet circuitry, plus the results of folks with serious test gear the SPDIF stream from the Touch is cleaner than the Duet's. If your DAC is immune to input noise then the Duet will be fine. If not the Touch will sound better. 3. Your Duet remote works fine with the Touch if that's an issue. FWIW, I've run my stock Duet with a RAKK Dac rev.1 vs. my modded Duet's analog outs (output levels matched) and the RAKK sounded a little better in the bass and mids. But not enough for me to invest in the RAKK. I have not A/B'ed a Touch against my modded Duet but my guess is the Touch is better out of the box on analog out. John Swenson has posted a few mods for the Touch that he says will improve the Touch's analog out significantly. I intend to upgrade to a Touch and mod the analog outs. Oh and... 4. If you ever want to play higher rez music the Touch is your only path. I hope something in this blather is helpful!

Having said all that, it's not actually that bad; it's not really loud or disruptive. However, it is something I'd rather not have, and not what I'd expect.

Aha, yes there is a click on the analog outs when changing sample rates. The intensity seems to be constant, so if you run the volume at full and run into a preamp the clicks are barely audible. BUT if you run directly into a high gain amp and have the Touch volume set low, the clicks are quite loud. I'll check and see if there is already a bug on this, if not I'll enter one.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] How to control the Squeezebox Touch with the Ipod Touch??
The SB Touch cannot talk directly to the iTouch. You need a wireless access point in the picture somewhere. The access point doesn't have to be connected to the internet but it does have to be there. It sets up the wireless infrastructure that both Touches connect to. The access point is where you setup the wirless network parameters such ssid (name) security method (WEP or WPA) and the security key. The access point can be a wireless router or just an access point. You can have it connected to the internet or not. Certain things work better if the Touch can get to the internet but its not required.

There are people that notice a huge difference and there are people like myself that barely would be able to hear the difference in a bind test. It all depends on what other equipment you have and how good your ears are. Let's assume we are only talking about the audio quality and not the other features which also makes it worth to upgrade. In this case there might be other parts of you system where $300 would make a bigger difference in the audio quality, it all depends on what equipment and speakers you currently have. If the Classic is the weak link today, the Touch will probably be a good investment to improve the audio quality. If there are other parts in your system that are the weak links, the Touch might not make a big difference regarding the audio quality. If you let us know a bit more about your current system we might be able to give you a better recommendation. IMHO, the Touch is worth the money not only for the audio quality but also for the color screen. In my setup the screen has enhanced the experience a lot more than the difference in audio quality. Of course, most things showed on my screen are third party stuff, without the third party stuff the difference would be less. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79680 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I don't think so at all. The Touch UI is great, if its within arm reach. I really like it. I've been a happy SlimThing user for years and years, and have lots of them. I really like the UI on the touch. I have never liked the remote controls that come with SqueezeBoxes, or my Transporter. The Controller (half of the Duet) is interesting, but I don't love it. I usually control my music with the web front end, using a laptop. The Touch's UI is so good, I don't have to use the laptop. But only, of course, if you can actually reach it. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
