Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch As Pre-amp
At least compare with Touch :-/ Tube magic *shiver* . Directly driving the power amp possibly via good attenuators such as endlers. But looking at the specs I see that it has an analog input ! very good and the tube out can be bypassed too as it has an normal output, very very good. So you can hook up the Touch both ways analog and digital and compare, note that output level is probably different so you have to adjust volume to make sure you compare at the same level. It takes a good DAC to beat Touch a very good DAC some say ? Getting a preamp can be a good move in itself , but is that one up to the same level as your nice looking power amp. Well you have to try and see what you get :) If on a really tigth budget I would look for a passive preamp as an option -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Browsing Artists: Incorrect sequence
Hi, I need your help on a sorting issue: All artist names in my music database are of the form first name last name, e.g. Buck Owens. Consequently, when browsing thru Artists on my SB, I see my artists in alphabetical order, based on their first names. That is - not always... Some of my artists appear out of order, mostly (always?) sorted by their LAST name. I've checked the appropriate tags and could not spot any difference between these and those of other artists shown in correct sequence. Nowhere in the tags (or the filename) is an artist name written like Owens, Buck. Can anybody help me understand what's going on, and how to fix this? -- psch41 psch41's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42452 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85234 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Instructions for connecting USB DAC to Touch
Hi John, I've got a brand-new SBT and have just tried implementing your
mod in order to connect up to an async USB DAC (Audiolab 8000CDQ). I'm
getting no sound at all over USB, and it is still coming out of the
coax. Below is a dump of some of my files. I'm guessing the status of
stop in the stream0 file is not a good sign. My SBT firmware is 7.5.3
r9283 (it updated itself immediately that I turned it on).
Can you offer any advice as to a possible cause of my problem? I
wondered if it was worth me trying your modified firmware, if you could
point me to it.
Many thanks in advance,
Tim

[SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezeplay,Touch, Joggler,Track selection
A question specifically raised through running Squeezeplay on a Joggler, but assume this is also true of squeezeplay on PC or a Touch? I run my squeezeboxes (4)in sync most of the time just switching on and off whichever player as I need. If I use the joggler to switch a particular player off, I am then stuck! The screen I am then offered is only the wallpaper with a single button to turn that particular player back on again! I have to use another external (to joggler) method to switch off individual players (IR or PC UI) ( having already switched the Joggler/Squeezeplay over to the new player I now wish to control. Have I missed something here? is this a function of Squeezeplay itself? so cannot be resolved, or part of the Joggler implementation? and Is it possible to reverse the track selection modes so that a touch and hold plays the track and the short touch brings up the menu? Currently if you accidentally just touch a track you wipe the current playlist you may have just built. If you reversed the modes then if you accidentally just touched instead of touch hold, you would simply bring up the menu, which you could either then close or even just press the play option. If the above post is familiar to you then it is because I asked the same question on Tarkan's blog who did such a fabulous job of making the Joggler as controller a nice easy install, even I could do it. It really is a terrific app for it, and at £50 off ebay the joggler is a steal. Apologies if the track thing has already been asked, couldn't find a reference to it elsewhere in Threads.

[SlimDevices: Touch] wrong album art for some albums
This week I finally replaced my (still flawless) SB2 for the Touch. I assumed the Touch could do everything the SB2 could, so I was suprised by some things I found that I could do no longer (like configuring the home menu, but I'll get back to that in another thread). But since the album art shows in the Touch, there's something bothering me that I already noticed in the server before (but ignored since the SB2 doesn't show artwork). For a fairly great number of albums in my collection, the album art that is available seems to be replaced by a standard album (in my case of Weird Al Yankovic, a venomous twist of fate :-) For these albums, there is the right art available in the directories,but it does not show. All MP3's have the artwork embedded and the folders contain additional folder.jpg There are also folders without album art, these just show the 'no album art' image, like they should. I cannot find out why this particular image is shown in these cases. Tried a full rescan but that did not help. Anyone noticed this and has any suggestion?
