Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] EDO/TT3 problem

2015-01-14 Thread Covenant

Thanks for the suggestion. After another 6 attempts the Touch finally
did a clean re-install. That's great but the combination of EDO and TT3
is imho, superb and I want to put both back.
Is there a sequence to ensure that both work ok together?

[SlimDevices: Touch] EDO/TT3 problem

2015-01-13 Thread Covenant

I have both EDO and Touch Toolbox 3 running on my Touch but today came
home and the start up screen with 'advanced digital output unsupported
by Logitech' was showing. After a couple of second the screen went blank
and then the message would repeat. I have tried using the factory reset
button (at least 6 times) but the message appears again as soon as the
Touch starts up.
How can I get back to a proper fresh install?

I had an RF problem and two things cured it. Firstly I replaced the
screened network cable (the screening is unnecessary and acts like and
aerial), Secondly I fitted a ferrite choke about 150mm from my Touch on
the ethernet cable. The combination of the two things did the trick.

Maybe some modest component upgrades to the Dacmagic should be

I have no knowledge if mods to the Dacmagic are feasible-just assume

You are dead wrong-components, mainly capacitors, change due to
chemical reactions. The manufacturers acknowledge this themselves:

Wow, what a great review-can't wait to get mine. I was interested in

guess if it was produced by one of the well known makes it would cost
three figures. Have you compared yours to a decent coaxial? Glass

Sorry if this is an audiophile question but its your fault Logitech-you
