Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Async USB Dac Experiments - testers wanted...
Hi Triode, it's VIA Vinyl Audio VT1731 http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/audio/usb/vt1731/index.jsp The latest firmware is #4. I'm not familiar with linux but to get new ALSA you have to get new Linux kerlner? It's not possible to get new ALSA for 2.6.26.8 kernel (this number displays 'uname -a' command)?

If you don't have Flac "Native" decoding enabled in the server's file types menu, then you need 7.8 firmware on touch for this. However if its only the display then it probably means that the status bits in spdif are wrong - I've never looked at that to see and didn't change anything for this...

Can you prove that it works in ASYNC mode on a modern linux desktop - without this there's no chance it will. It would be good to see the output of lsusb for it from a desktop machine.

It does sound OK, and I checked the file types for the server and native FLAC is enabled. Though I haven't performed an update on this box in awhile, it shows 7.7.2. Is 7.8 a beta?

I haven't proactively implemented any SOX that I am aware of. I assume that means activating a plugin of some sort? The server is functioning on a basic install set up.

OK - do you definately had EDO installed and the output set to digital output?

No guarantees, but yes, only an ordinary IR emitter is needed.

Any plans for a Squeezeplay-like client for Mac OSX? I use a Mac Mini in our family room as the platform to pick up music via Squeezeplayer from the LMS on my NAS as well as movies via VLC.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SqueezePad or iPeng app?
I have thought about it a few times, but then: is there really a need? There's the web interface which has most of the functionality. And on the player-side there are at least SqueezeSlave (for which there is a nice menu bar integration) and of course SqueezePlay itself (which I use on my Mac Mini server and which works fine). OK, a native App could bring a bit more Mac-like appeal and maybe be a bit faster but I think the browser interface offers quite a bit of flexibility, too. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97366 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I am currently using TT3.0 for digital output of mostly 16bit/44.1kHz. What would be a good deal for a USB converter (ofcourse, with EDO) that would beat this convincingly ? Thanks.
