Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput
This has probably been answered in this thread but my search didn't find it. In the testing I did earlier today, it appeared that selecting that as a source activated the coaxial, optical and analog connections simultaneously, but not the USB connection. Query as to (1) whether it can transmit frequencies higher than 96 kHz through either digital connection and (2) if I can use either of those connections for DoP? john greenwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Deezer on squeezebox
If they are synced, not playing independent streams, they should only use up one, the Touch will even act as a proxy if you are using MySqueezebox.com. Note that AFAIK this only works with the touch, if you use other Squeezebox combinations you'd have to use LMS to only use one stream. Of course I don't know how Deezer will eventually count in this case, maybe they'd consider even multiple identical streams to SBS as only one. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103522 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] Deezer on squeezebox
I own a squeezebox touch and have a deezer premier+ account. I am thinking about buying a squeezebox boom to sync with the touch but want to use my deezer account for both. Does this use up 1 or 2 of my 3 deezer allowances? Please help. Not sure if I want to buy it if it takes up more than one. hjm80's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64290 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103522 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I think you need LMS 7.8 for 192khz unless you are using only native flacs (see 1st post on this thread). Coax seems to be most likely to support it, optical and USB often somewhat less, depending on the DAC. LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16-24 bit, 44.1-192kbps. LMS Squeeze2upnp to MF M1 CLiC (to MF amp ESLs) Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Minimserver (server) upplay (control point) to same renderers to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to speakers/phones. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop with firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver. Have a Touch with EDO, and a spare, but don't use.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput
Just did some more experimenting (with 7.7.3). When I select digital out using coax or USB out, I can get 192khz. When I select digital+analog I can only get 96khz on coax (i.e. the same as a non-EDO SBT). For the moment, I am leaving EDO installed as it increases my options, although it doesn't solve the lost music problem entirely. Having said that, when I played one of my two native 192khz FLAC albums I hit the limits of my WiFi. Lots of dropouts.

I don't know what happened, but the computer was shut down overnight, and this afternoon, I went and tried the Touch. I went right to Favourites and there were my programmes. It has been playing all afternoon. I fired up the computer, turned on LMS, and so far, I have had no problems. The next time there is a problem, I shall try your solution. My interpretation was that the Touch was not seeing the Router for access to the internet, but it was seeing the router to play music from my HD!

Ronnie Thanks for this (although, to be honest, I'm not sure what part of the thread you wanted me to focus on:) ). Just FYI - after installing the EDO, I did try the kernel updater, changing the buffer size, and the different cable connections. They did not solve the problem. And one tweak caused the machine to shut down, requiring me to unplug and replug it. I took that as a sign. I also sent an e-mail to Teac support. Maybe the fix will be in some forthcoming firmware upgrade for the DAC.
