Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SB Touch screen malfunction
I have installed the soundcheck Toolbox which turns off the display. Though I'd miss it but I don't. Control via iPeng is ok for me. The sound quality boost is amazing. Since the display doesn't work anyway the touch is now somewhere out of sight. 1xTouch, 1xSB3, 1xDuet, 3xRadio, Synology 412+ NAS, Devialet 120, Audio Physic Tempo 25 speakers SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103389 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Ajay I currently have a DacMagic and am looking for a new DAC upgrade. On my list was the Musical Fidelity M1DAC but I came across the EE minimax DAC and all the reviews are very positive. Is the EE minimax a serious 'upgrade' over the DacMagic? I like a more controlled base. How would you describe the higher frequencies when comparing one over the other. I like the clarity of the DAC magic so the Minimax should keep this while improving middle and bass reponse.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] But... It sounds soooo good
I used to have the SB3 connected to a Cambridge audio DacMagic and the most noticeable was the extension in base as well as channel separation. Now with the Touch, the touch comes very close to the DacMagic. The latter performs a better job in the mids and high tones as well as channel separation. I would not buy a DacMagic for it if I didn't have one yet. But since I have one I'll keep it. -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://acc.vanholt.nl)- for SqueezeCenter '_' (http://www.badkamerpech.nl) SlimServer. 2xSB3, 1xDuet, 1xRadio, 1xiPhone iPeng, Ubuntu NAS + SBS SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 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
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Alternate Touch stand
Another vote here. My Touch is placed only 55cm above the floor but still the couch position is too low as the angle of the screen it too far tilted backwards. The text is allready smaller than on the SB3 but with the viewing angle issue the contrast becomes so low text can't be read from distances where it could be easily read on the SB3. The bracket stand should be either adjustable to account for the bad vertical viewing angle or the viewing angle shoot be improved (which is not going to happen). Besides this it is a very nice device. -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://acc.vanholt.nl)- for SqueezeCenter '_' (http://www.badkamerpech.nl) SlimServer. 2xSB3, 1xDuet, 1xRadio, 1xiPhone iPeng, Ubuntu NAS + SBS SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77393 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I am also looking at putting together a new system to stream 24/96 FLAC from my PC wirelessly onto my Audio Amp and SB Touch+magic Dac sounds interesting in the budget range I target...but I could not find information on the improvement from the External DAc versus just hooking the amplifier to the SB Touch internal DAC. From my understanding using the SB touch as WIFI receiver to receive perfect bit stream from 24/96 FLAC played on PC + passthrough the digital out (Toslink?) to an external DAC such as Magic dac seems a good solution...but I am still looking for confirmation. In addition the fuzzy point for me is quality difference between using the internal DAC versus an external one like dacmagic? Eric I use the DAC magic with my SB3 and there it definitely has added value. Much better channel separation and placement but since the DAC of the touch has improved I still wonder if the DAC magic will have enough added value.
