Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Are there any cheap options for a Better Touch Power Supply?
JohnSwenson;557729 Wrote: The switcher that came with the SB3 was very poor. It radiated a lot of noise, AND sent a lot of noise back down into the AC main as well. There was some going into the SB3 as well, but my findings were that the radiated noise and the noise sent into the mains was usually far more of a problem. The switcher that comes with the Touch is much better, it produces a lot less contamination of the environment. But its not perfect. A properly designed linear supply can still produce a lower noise environment. Note I'm not talking about the actual signal coming out of the Touch. My measurements show very little effect on the signal out from the PS quality. The Touch has a much better power supply immunity than the SB3. Unfortunately linear supplies are not created equal. Some can still produce radiated noise and send noise back into the mains. Its definitely possible to have a linear supply that will sound worse than the switcher that comes with the Touch. Because of this I'm not very hot on getting a cheap linear supply. While they probably can improve the sound of an SB3, (ANYTHING will improve the sound over that thing that came with the SB3) there is a good chance they would actually make the Touch sound worse. Price is not necessarily a good harbinger either. There are some expensive supplies that still send a fair amount of noise back into the mains. If you are going to get an expensive one make sure you can audition it first, or get a money back guarantee. Note that I build my own supplies so I have NOT bought commercially available ones, I cannot say which ones are good or not, don't ask. If you are a hard core audiophile and like to tweak things to get the absolute best sound possible, go ahead and try linear supplies. (I have a design for a really good one if you are interested in making your own.) If not, just use the supply that came with the Touch. John S. Hi John I'll bite...would it be possible to post a schematic of your favoured supply? :) Thanks -- Tripmaster Tripmaster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33519 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79977 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Hi It would be nice if the Touch could be released with basic functionality, followed by a series of schedule feature rich firmware updates. I think this may keep a majority of users happy in the short term, and would certainly take the pressure off the developers. Its just an idea...maybe it could be offered to customers who have pre-ordered, and are aware of the current situation.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Digital EQ?
JohnSwenson;479337 Wrote: From the description this looks like a Baffle Step Correction (BSC) circuit. This compensates for the decrease in bass response when putting a woofer designed for a wide baffle into a narrow baffle. Its not a crossover, its not tailoring the response between two drivers, but tweaking the bass response of the woofer. You can implement this with passive components between the amp and speaker (as in the digram), with passive components between the source and amp or with digital EQ. I do this with my speakers using a simple RC network between the preamp and power amp, its generally much better than the passive between the amp and speaker. It also has the advantage that you can use a pot in the circuit and tweak it to get just the response you want. For the OP if you want to use the builtin server of the Touch there is no way you are going to be able to run the EQ plugin, but the RC circuit between the Touch and amp might be a good choice.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Digital EQ?
Hi This is my first post on this forum...so please go easy on me! I am interested in buying a Touch but have a few questions before I get too excited. I plan to use the Touch as the main source for my HI-FI and I have recently built some full range floor standing speakers. I would like to know if there is any control over EQ with the Touch. My speakers currently use an inductor and I would like to remove this and control the baffle step electronically. Here is a section taken from the speaker designers website... 'Digital EQ: I do the EQ within the music player. Foobar2000 has a 1/2 octave equalizer built in. The equalizers of both WMP and J. Rivers have fewer bands. I don't know about WinAMP or anything else. 1/2 octave works OK, although I would like to see finer. It is reported to me the the J. Rivers EQ works well with the LT-2000/DX3 and tubes. Digital EQ, indeed any EQ needs to be handled with finesse. Too much EQ will sound odd and fake. You will want to use the minimum amount of EQ to balance the speakers and the room to your ears. Anything over 6dB is too much regardless of the particular problem. I spent the time to EQ the speakers flat with an SPL meter. The result was a dull recessed sound. The best way to start the EQ process is to set the sliders to the inverse of the speaker and then play with it using your favourite recordings until it sound right. ' Any help will be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks Richard -- Tripmaster Tripmaster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33519 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69721 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
