Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] No cover art after updating firmware 7.5.1
another thing that may help is to reboot the touch. I notice on mine that artwork wont appear sometimes after complete and new scans. But after unplugging the touch and re-powering they all come back immediately. -- thmpi thmpi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38683 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80292 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Quite enough for me to consider sheevaplug as a next move. Frankly speaking I'm a bit disappointed whit Touch SQ. Though it sounds much better than PC streaming PCM to USB DAC, but still not exceeds my 13 years old Musical Fidelity A2CD, not mentioning the sound prodused by Rega P3 turntable. So if there is a chance to improve Touch's SQ I'm going to try. Cheers now.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 7.6 testing - Native WMA Pro and Lossless
No, because they are stereo devices. WMA does support downmixing to stereo which I haven't yet enabled but plan to look at soon. I think the only way to get surround playback with WMA is with a PC soundcard.

One thing I have noticed is in trying to play downloaded HD tracks in wma lossless that are supposed to be 5.1 surround, from a place like itrax for example, my Integra DHC 9.9 doesn't see the music as surround..it sees it as two channel only.

[/color] I ripped several of my DTS 5.1 encoded audio CD's into wma lossless format and they all play perfectly in full 5.1 DTS surround on both the Duets and my Touch. I just used the windows media player to do the ripping. The Touch and the Duets pass through the DTS encoded surround information from their digital outputs and the pre amp processors recognize that and activate their DTS decoding. My Integra preamp shows the incoming signal to be full 5.1 surround. Sounds really good too. I do have a couple DTS encoded audio CD's that have a 24 bit 96K DTS track. I haven't tried ripping any of those yet. They won't play with the Duets of course, not sure about the Touch. -- strindl strindl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39162 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80482 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 7.6 testing - Native WMA Pro and Lossless
OK what you're describing really has nothing to do with this, you basically did the same thing you can do with FLAC by wrapping the DTS bitstream in another container. That's the only way you can do multichannel with a Squeezebox. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80482 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

One advantage of having native support for wma lossless would be the ability to fast forward within a track, right? I need to download that beta software and give that a try.
