I tried Absolute Radio 80s - ok. When I switched to it from France Musique which was bad I heard a relay operate in the dac. Smart crossfeed was enabled. No difference after changing it.36256 +---+ |Filename: Screenshot 2021-11-25 at 22.19.39.png| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36256| +---+ Avinunca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72240 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115373 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Using SBT dac - BBC Sounds and France Musique channels work fine. The latter works ok with AAC and MP3 but not HLS. SQ is good so no bother. Using Ordinal Dac neither work but I hear instead scratchy tone.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Unable to use BBC Sounds with external dac
I've resurrected my SBT and everything's working fine - QoBus etc but I am unable to listen to BBC Sounds material through the external DAC. Analog o/p on SBT is good. I found an ancient thread about this but doubt it is still relevant. Could someone please point me in the right direction.
