Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput

2015-09-11 Thread Mnyb

The internal dac in touch supports "only" 96kHz so EDO wont help you
there . EDO makes the USB out an option and the spdiff output 192kHz .

Volume control in squeezebox is a 24 bit digital thing . I dont think
you going to have any problems with this but i can't really prdeict the
result i dont have this dac or the headphones . If you youre using the
squeezebox volume in the top part of the range it's totally ok some
people are driven power amps directly with squeezeboxes .

Thank you both for your advice.

Headphones
Very-old 20 years?-but loved Sennheiser HD 580. The open back makes them
a no go for listening in bed-Mrs. does not appreciate the subliminal
messages of Porcupine Tree or Howling Wolf at 11 ;)
Audio-Technica ATH-M40x are one of the best balanced headphones I can
recall. They sound wonderful. The fact that they are $100 US makes these
a great buy. Trouble is they become uncomfortable quickly for me.
Inbound Oppo PM-3's, Denon AH-MM400's, Sennheiser Momentum 2's and
Audeze EL-8 closed back.

I have a M2TECH Young but have no way to control volume.

I've worked with Bes-Besflores Nievera of Music Direct for decades. I'll
hit him up for a nano – iDSD
