Have you considered that any "sound quality differences" you hear are
due to running tinyLMS?  If you've been using the Squeezebox platform
for that long, you should know that the Touch was not designed to be
used in that way.  Why don't you run a proper server?  A Raspberry Pi or
a mini-PC is all you need.

If you don't have internet access, mysqueezebox.com can't be reached. 
Try starting LMS with the *No MySB* option enabled on LMS tab of
piCorePlayer.  (You've never said so, but I assume your instance of LMS
is running on your RPi.)

Interesting, you might be able to do it with a crossover cable:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable

Better, I think, would be to solve the wifi problem.  Try moving your
network to another channel; 1, 6 and 11 are best.  Are you in a
"wifi-congested" area, e.g. apartment building?  Are your Touch and
laptop particularly distant from your wireless router?

Is the problem on all media or just on "hi-res"?

This kit -- the "4GB" version -- appears to be in stock and has almost
everything you'll need to connect to your DAC via USB:

It's priced at a premium compared to when these parts were plentiful,

Feb/Mar.

You will also need a USB cable like this:

If you call Cana Kit and ask, maybe they'll swap out the two HDMI cables
that come with the kit (which you don't need) for the one USB cable.

In its simplest to assemble form, the RPi player is operated remotely
using a cellphone, tablet, or web browser.  Can you operate that way? 
Or, do you need a touch-screen and dedicated remote as you had with your

Take care doing this as the front display is connected to the circuit
board within the enclosure by two ribbon cables.

The rulers used for scale in the photos show that there is alignment
between two plastic stubs on the back of the front panel and two
openings near where the screws were removed to take off the metal base. 
Can you push something through these openings and force the front panel
away from the surrounding enclosure?  You may need to  insert the edge
of a credit card into any gap you create in order to keep this gap open.
Use a second credit card to move outward from the gap you created.  As
you move, the front panel should release.  Take care not to insert the
credit cards too far into the Touch or you run the risk of disloging a
component part or ribbon cable.

Once you remove the metal stand (two screws), you pry the front and back
panel of the Touch apart much like opening a laptop PC case.  Not
particularly difficult, but also not easy if you've not done it before
and don't have the right tools.

You might consider replacing the Touch with a Raspberry Pi-based player.
You have a USB DAC so the connection between the two is a standard
printer cable (USB Type A to USB Type B).  There are guides online on
how to assemble the player: it all snaps together, no soldering
involved.  Total cost including a metal case and power supply would be
under $100.  Sound quality is the same as your Touch.  Here's the rub:
for whatever reason, there are no RPi boards available anywhere right
now.

Anyway, if it comes to that, plenty of people here will help you get it
going.

Just so you're up to date, I'd suggest installing the current LMS beta:
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=8.2

Then, go into LMS Settings > Plugins and enable the "Community Firmware
for Touch/Radio/Controller" and "Material Skin" plugins.  This will
prompt a server restart.  It may take a day or so, but your Touch should
eventually prompt you to install the newest firmware.

Open a browser on your iPhone and go to
http://[your.LMS.server.IP]:9000/material to manage playback.

I'm not a user of TIDAL, but it might require the EDO applet if you are
trying to play files above 24/96; in any case, it won't hurt anything to
install it:
[TOUCH] Settings > Advanced > Applet Installer > (at the bottom enable
"Reinstall after Firmware Update") > Enhanced Digital Output

Appreciate your offer to ASR.  Let's get the Touch completely updated

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Classic v3 vs touch

2021-06-11 Thread Apesbrain


The Squeezebox Classic/SB3 is limited to 24/48 which would not seem to
be an issue for your sources.  If connected to a DAC, I wouldn't expect
to hear any difference between it and a Squeezebox Touch.  The Touch is
reported to have a better sounding analog output (internal DAC), but I
can't confirm as mine have always been connected to an external DAC. 
The SB3 does not have USB output, but does have optical and coax.  Of
course, no display of album art and no "touch" screen as the SB3 display
does not support this.  If you buy an SB3, be sure to get the remote and
power supply.

If you don't need a physical display, the DAC32 or Raspberry Pi is a
less expensive option and supports higher bitrates.  An RPi can be
equipped with a HiFiBerry add-on board to provide analog out on RCA,
S/PDIF out via optical or coax, or an amplifier to connect directly to
stereo speakers.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] External dac?

2021-02-12 Thread Apesbrain


You only need EDO if you want to play files above 24/96; it has no
effect on "sound quality".  The DAC in the Touch has held up
surprisingly well, but there's no harm in trying a newer external DAC. 
I'd look at models from Topping to start.  They range from $100-$850 US.
The D30pro looks to be a winner, but it's not in general release yet.
If possible, purchase from a store that allows returns just in case you
hear no difference or want to try a different DAC.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] balance?

2021-01-02 Thread Apesbrain


You can adjust balance using the Inguz EQ/DRC plugin, but your issue
sounds like a problem with amp and/or speakers.  What do you mean "big
bass speaker"?  Are you talking about a subwoofer?  Most subs have a
volume control on the rear panel.

There is a small reset button on the rear above the ethernet port.  A
brief push will reboot the Touch; a long hold will reset it to factory.

Thanks for your reply.  I tried new remote batteries and also a second

Seems like the IR receiver in the original Touch is failing.  Would like

Today I found that one of my beloved Squeezebox Touch units was no

learned that it will respond but only at short range (under 10').  Is
this something that happens with these units, and can it be repaired?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] One cause of rebuffering on the Touch

2020-07-28 Thread Apesbrain


I know it's a bother, but I'd temporarily install LMS (no customizations
nor additional plugins) on one of your desktop PCs, index some music
files on the same PC, and try to play your Touch from there.  You point
the Touch to the new server by: My Music > Switch Library.

If the above is successful, consider getting a Raspberry Pi for use as
an LMS server.  Many people on this forum can help with RPi issues. 
Your configuration (Arch/Wandboard) is not that common, so finding help
is going to get increasingly difficult.

Pretty sure DSD64 is the maximum supported by Squeezebox Touch (EDO) and
LMS with plugins.  DSD128 via DoP requires 352.8 kHz sampling which the
Touch can't do.

Assuming DSDPlayer is configured correctly (see below), then you might
try another S/PDIF cable or switch between coax/optical.  It's not
unheard of that optical cables can be a limiting factor.  The specs of
your DAC are that it receives DoP via S/PDIF at 24/176 (DSD 64), and if
properly working the display will say "DoP".

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Today vs 2012; What's different today in the Squeezebox world?

2020-06-27 Thread Apesbrain


I'll just add that the Touch remains a very competitive device for the
purposes you've described.  It's DAC is fine for direct output to a set
of small powered speakers, and if connected to an external DAC it is
completely up to the demands of a great system.  The Raspberry Pi
solutions come into play if you want to add a zone, or if a Touch stops
working; their sound quality is as good or better than the Touch.

For me, the big improvement of the past eight years has been the
convenience of using mobile devices as control points.  There are apps
for Android and iOS that duplicate the library and control functionality
of LMS.  There also is now, as mentioned, a contemporary "Material Skin"
installable via plugin that looks great on desktop or in mobile
browser.

There is nothing I need from Squeezebox that it can't do.

Try it.  A 32GB SD card or 64GB flash drive costs under $10 so not much

particular), but it may be adequate for your friend particularly if the

The steps required to do this are not that difficult so you should be

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Think I've killed my Touch following upgrade

2019-09-17 Thread Apesbrain


The current firmware is here:
http://update.slimdevices.com/update/firmware/7.9.2/

Touch is "fab4.bin".  Copy it to a blank USB key and insert in rear of
Touch.  If Touch were functional, you'd select Settings > Advanced >
Software update.  In your case, I'd do a "Factory Reset" by holding the
button above ethernet port on rear of Touch until you see a message on
screen.  Hopefully, it will detect and reload the firmware.  I'm not
completely sure about that last part, so you may want to hold off until
you get more advice.  In any case, if you try it I doubt you'll be in
any worse situation.

In the event the problem is with the Touch's onboard wifi, you might
first try resetting the Touch while connected via ethernet.  If this
works, you have options.

"New music" is determined by file modification date. Since you've been
copying things around, you've probably changed them all. If you are
missing expected albums in New, try finding them by Artist. If not
there, run a "Clear library" rescan. If still not there, they are not in
your library or they are improperly tagged. Check that LMS is pointed to
the correct external drive and that the "missing" files are on the
drive. You can make files "New" again by updating the file modification
date. This can be done with Mp3tag or any file attribute changer.

Touch will natively play 24/96; install EDO applet to get 24/192.  At
192, optical can be sketchy over long run or on cheap cable so recommend
coax for those cases.

The easiest way is to "reserve" an IP for your Touch via your router;
check router instructions.  Otherwise, google "squeezebox touch static
ip".

You need to SSH into the Touch to disable wifi; google "squeezebox touch

On Touch, tap the "Now Playing" bar, scroll to "More Info", scroll down
to bitstream info. If you want this information to display on "Now
Playing" screen, you can probably do it using the "Custom Clock" plugin.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] USB Hard Drive Limitations

2019-02-14 Thread Apesbrain


Are you thinking about running a hard drive directly into your Touch? 
If so, don't do it.  It's a recipe for disappointment.  Run Logitech
Media Server on a proper PC with as big a hard drive as you need.  The
Touch (wired or wireless) becomes a streamer for LMS which is the way it
works best.

Touch SPDIF and analog outs are always both active unless you've

Why not uninstall EDO and use SPDIF?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch does not connect to my DAC

2019-02-13 Thread Apesbrain


When you reboot the Touch (press button on left back above power port),
you will see a startup message about EDO being loaded.  It is in the
upper left of the screen and maybe you can see it flash by if not
totally blind.

Not sure why you went the route you did with installing EDO.  The
"normal" way to do it is via the Touch screen:
Settings > Advanced > Applet Installer > Enhanced Digital Output >
Install 0.10 => You may need to disable "Recommended Applets Only".

Touch without EDO will do up to 24/96.  You need more than that?  What
DAC are you using and how are they connected?

[SlimDevices: Touch] Using both digital and analog outs on Touch simultaneously

2019-02-10 Thread Apesbrain


I'd like to add a powered subwoofer into my system, but the only way to
take an output is from the analog outs on the back of the Touch.  The
coax out is already going to my DAC.  I use the Touch to control volume
in my system and virtually 100% of my listening is via the Touch.  This
isn't ideal, but it should work, right?  The digital and analog outs
track volume the same?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] LMS all dicked up..... multiple issues.

2018-06-05 Thread Apesbrain


LMS couldn't be simpler so I doubt it is the source of your problems.
Install the latest release version: 7.9.1. Open LMS Control Panel and
confirm it is set to index only the folder(s) where your music library
is located. Make sure there are no shortcuts to other folders in the
target folders. Do a "Clear and Rescan" library rebuild.

The "Unable to find" error is probably due to your Touch looking to the
IP address of the old LMS server. After doing the above, on the back of
the Touch above the power plug is a reset button. Press and hold this
button until the Touch restarts. It will guide you through the initial
setup again. Post back with results.

Issues with duplicates and incomplete CDs are probably due to file
tagging problems unrelated to LMS.

If you don't mind doing your controlling via phone/tablet/web, I'd
suggest a Raspberry Pi running piCorePlayer.  Has analog and HDMI
output, or you can purchase an add-on board to provide S/PDIF output or
a better analog output.  Worst case, about $120 and just as capable as
the Touch it replaces.

You might try rewriting the firmware. Put the BIN file on a USB or SD
drive, unplug the Touch, insert drive, plug back in. With luck it will
post to the point of reading the drive and asking to update firmware.

Incredible claims about all kinds of things are made every day by
knowledgeable people and by those in authority.  This thread is almost
seven years old and no one to date has demonstrated that any of these
add-on devices stand up to scientific scrutiny.

Copy "fab4_7.8.0_r16754.bin" and "fab4.version" from the link garym
provided above to that same directory on your server.  Restart your
server and you should see a message on your Touch about new firmware
being available.  Otherwise, do a manual update via Touch: Home >
Settings > Advanced > Software Update.

P.S. For some time I ran my two Touches with a mix of 7.8.0 and 7.7.3
and never noticed any difference.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Connect SBT To Oppo UDP-203 Blu-ray Player

2017-05-19 Thread Apesbrain

Looking at the manual, it's not clear to me that the Oppo can be used in
the way you want.  There are no S/PDIF inputs and the USB inputs on the
front and rear panels are not the typical USB "B" type used for this
purpose.  Plus, there is no description in the manual of how the device
can be used as a USB DAC for an external streamer.  You might want to
ask your question to Oppo customer service and post their response back
here for others to know.

'Owner's Manual'
(http://download.oppodigital.com/UDP203/UDP-203_USER_MANUAL_ENGLISH_V1.0.pdf)

There are other options:

1. Assemble a Squeezelite player from a Raspberry Pi and use it to play
from LMS into the Oppo HDMI input.  This can cost as low as $50 and will
support your 24-bit files; and, you can redeploy your Touch to another
room.

2. Buy a S/PDIF or USB > HDMI converter and link through it from the
Touch to the Oppo.  I'm not that familiar with these devices, but no
reason it should not work.

You're saying the file will play on your Touch if opened via LMS "Music

LMS?

That file location string looks odd to me; is it possibly referencing
some kind of shortcut?

Then again, you say it works fine on your Radio so I'm stumped.
