[SlimDevices: Touch] One channel dead on digital

2012-12-24 Thread bestefar

I have been using a Squeezebox touch for several years through the
analog outputs. I just bought the Mdac to use with it, but it has a dead
channel through both the optical and coax digital outputs. The Mdac
works fine in another system, so it's not the problem. Am I missing
anything in settings or anything else to make it work, or is it just
broken?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Using with a Mdac?

 Thanks for the reply and link which I will read through.
 
 With respect to the need for an external hub can you please advise a
 suitable hub? 
 
 I would be using a total length of 3m so a couple of 1.5m USB 2 cables
 as I assume the hub would go in-line?
 
 Is it better to go to the Mdac via the USB on the SB Touch rather than
 directly from the Vortexbox rip/NAS unit?
 
 I power off everything when not in use, will this have any impact to the
 settings loaded by using the EDO plugin?

For usability Touch has an advantage you can remove the server from the
listening room , one of the core ideas with squeezeboxes is to not
clutter the listening room with a computer , if the rip-nas is fanless
it migth not do so much apart from the space saving .
I have my server in a corner under my desk , some hide it in a closet or
basement .

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Turn off/power down touchscreen

2012-12-24 Thread servies

Would it be possible to add the option to disable the display in a
certain period if there's no activity. Just as the 
Autodim Display for the squeezebox 3 did...

 Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. If you want to do 192 over
 S/PDIF make sure you use coax.

Ok, I just connected via coax and 192k plays just fine. Weird thing is
176k won't play at all. Everything else works except the 176k via coax.

I've just been trying to resample some files to 24/176 to find out if
they'll play here.
Funny thing is neither dbPoweramp Music Converter or Foobar give me the
option to select that particular sampling rate.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Are there any cheap options for a Better Touch Power Supply?

2012-12-24 Thread BNAL

Finally finished my power supply build using John Swanson's design. I
used a beefier power supply from Triad, Teddy Pardo superteddyreg, and a
felix power line filter. It's not yet burnt in but I think mt Touch
sounds better then the expensive power supply I was using. I purchased
that power supply years ago for my SB2. 

I'm using my Touch as a transport to feed my TubeDAC-11 via SPDIF.

If I don't use the Enhanced digital plugin every sample rate plays. I
guess the touch downsamples 192k to 96 and 176 to 88 when running in
standard mode.

That's the way things happen, as far as I know.
My server doesn't have the grunt to cope with downsampling, so any files
I play are played at their native sample rate.
