Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Slow Motion Playback
Looked in filetypes, and I have flac in the flac section set to disabled. I looked at the WAV section and changed flac in that to flac/sox and now the wav file will play at normal speed, but it drops in and out. The flac copy still plays slow.

The size of the database could well be the main problem.I have a Drobo with about 1.3 Tb available.I am still in the process of ripping and have used about 130Gb so far,including a few 24/96 files.These play mostly with no problems,just an occasional delay at the start when the Touch buffers.16/44.1 play with no issues at all.I guess this will change as used space gets greater. -- Ali Tait Ali Tait's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37387 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78211 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] But... It sounds soooo good
dmg;539424 Wrote: I had never heard of them before now, but based on a quick search, they seem very impressive. Unfortunately, they don't appear to suit my needs. I have an older turntable (Rega) with legacy phono outputs (no RCA). It looks like a Tripath only supports standard RCA inputs. The signal from the turntable outputs is too weak for standard RCA inputs. To digitize my LP collection using my Rega turntable, I need an amp with a built-in pre-amp that supports legacy phono connections or get a turntable pre-amp to use in combination with something like a Tripath. Thanks for the suggestion, however! You have made me think that a Tripath would be great in another location to drive a home-made passive subwoofer I use for my home theatre system. I currently drive the subwoofer with a very unsatisfactory, bulky, cheap, and old receiver. Yes,I see what you're after now,the above suggestion looks a good idea.The tripath I think would be very good for a sub,as I think the bass is very good from these amps,especially considering the low cost. -- Ali Tait Ali Tait's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37387 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77478 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
