You could have easily destroyed your Squeezebox by finding a power supply with the right "pin size" that put out too much voltage. You need to be careful to match output voltage and amperage in addition to the "pin size" when selecting a replacement power supply. -- Touch -> GW Labs upsampler -> TacT RCS 2.2X -> Convolver PC (Win10 + AcourateConvolver + RME HDSP-AES-32)-> (TacT S2150 -> Harbeth M40) + (TacT S2150 -> TacT W210) krochat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111555 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

If you're using the digital output to an outboard DAC, it does the first unfold to 88/96kHz. If that digital stream is fed to an MQA DAC, then it will do the second unfold. The way I use it it only does the first unfold. The Node2i fully supports MQA on its Analogue outputs, which gives you full MQA decoding without any external DACs. In this configuration it seems like quite a bargain. I haven't tried this since my amps have only digital inputs. (Note to self - get out an old amplifier and try the Node 2i Analog outputs) Some Tidal MQA titles seem to definitely sound better than the ripped CD versions (for example Enya Dark Sky Island). Others titles I can't tell any difference. A possible cause is that the MQA/high resolution versions have been mastered differently than the CD versions.

I have 4 Touch and a Radio, which I still use, but for Christmas I got myself a Bluesound Node 2i. On CD quality material it sounds the same, but it does have built-in MQA decoding for Tidal. I like the plethora of BluOS control apps, but there's support for only limited metadata tags. Cataloging and searching seems much faster than LMS, and no separate computer is needed to run LMS as long as your music is available on a NAS or USB drive plugged into the Node 2i. It also supports AirPlay and a ton of other streaming services. If you already have an MQA DAC you're using with your Touch, there won't be any improvement in sound quality with the Node 2i. I find it faster and more convenient to use.

One of the options on the SQBox is "Start Logitech > Media Server"... does this need to be running? 1) "Choose Player" should be set to "Squeezebox Touch" 2) The "Vortexbox" player plays though the sound card of the Vortexbox PC. 3) Do not synchronize.

I tried a DIP 2496 upsampler with my SB3 and almost destroyed my speakers. The problem is that if the DIP loses input lock it outputs digital noise at full volume. In the case of the SB3, if the network connection dropped so would the digital output. According to Monarchy, the unit was working as designed - but not suitable use with a wireless media streamer! The Touch has a very different architecture than the SB3, so it may not have the same problem. That said, whether or not an anti-jitter device will make a difference is entirely up to your DAC. The Touch digital output is very good, so in all likelyhood such a device will add jitter, not remove it. I have used an Apogee Big Ben on the output of the Touch and there was a small improvement, but that's a device that costs 5x what the Touch does.

That's because the output isn't a stream of 1's and 0's - it's a high-frequency analog signal representing square waves which in turn represent 1's and 0's. And even worse, it includes timing signals which need to be precise in the picosecond range.

The SqueezeCenter setting for iTunes is to use an existing iTunes library, which you obviously don't have. I would just uninstall iTunes if I were you. Squeezebox Server can transmit almost any file format to the Touch - you don't need any extra programs. What you do need to do is to put all your music files under a single folder on your PC (using subfolders to organize is OK), then open the Squeezebox Server web interface. Then go to settings (button on bottom right), "basic settings" tab. Use the browse button my the "Music Folder" field to find your music folder. After you have it set, press the "Rescan" button at the bottom of the page. In a few minutes, the Touch should be able to access and play all the music files in that folder.

The problem I experienced was connection problems if the server wasn't available, and reconnecting after waking the server required persistence and several minutes - one of those annoyances you're trying to avoid. I used to run SqueezeCenter on a regular PC that I would suspend at the end of the day. Squeezeboxes can send Wake-On-Lan (WOL) to wake up suspended servers but it never worked properly for that machine. So I switched to a separate VortexBox machine and it worked beautifully for weeks - press "play" and it played. Then I got worried about power usage (40 watts for that particular PC, some are as low as 20 watts), so I activated the "Server Power Control" plugin for end-of-day power suspension and used the player's WOL capability to wake up the server in the morning. This worked, but it took a couple of minutes to wake up and reconnect in the morning - a delay I found so annoying that I turned off the power plugin and now just run 24 hours a day. With regards to running SqueezeCenter on a NAS - many here have reported poor performance with some NAS units. VortexBox is a much better solution. It also has a one-click software "update" feature. FWIW, the Vortexbox is hard-wired to the network, 4 of my 5 players are wireless. -- krochat -- iZotope SRC (96kHz offline upsampler) -> Touch -> TacT RCS 2.2X -> Convolver PC (w/Acourate filter)-> Apogee Big Ben -> (TacT S2150 -> Vandersteen 3a Signature + TacT S2150 -> TacT W210) krochat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84267 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

If not, there might be problems. 2) Is your music MP3, CD-quality FLAC, or Hi-resolution FLAC? The bigger the music files, the more likelyhood of problems. If you're using MP3, things will more likely be fine, regardless of the speed of the hardware. If you're using CD-quality flac on a single-core processor, there's a possiblility of music interruptions when running CPU intensive applications. If you're using hi-res, you'll need at least a dual core. I use an old Dell desktop, 2.4GHz Pentium single-core with Windows XP, to feed 96/24kHz FLAC files to my Touch. I pretty much can't do anything else on the machine without interrupting the music. I also have a dual-core 2.1GHz Pentium desktop running Windows 7 that can serve CD-quality FLAC files. When running CPU intensive applications (like ripping to MP3 files on iTunes) I would get occasional interruptions in the music. On the other hand, if you have an old PC (or can get one for $5 at a garage sale like I did recently), and load VortexBox (a Linux-based Squeezebox server) on it, you'll be set for anything you want to play.

One thing to keep in mind is that just like wi-fi, the transmission speed decreases with difficulty - number of circuit hops, other electrical interference on the powerline, etc. Also, you cannot use them on surge-protected circuits and sometimes switching to an outlet on an adjacent wall either improves or degrades the connection. Fortunately things like extension cords and non-surge protected power strips don't seem to have any effect on the transmission speed. With the MegaPlug 200, my "speed" indicator is showing red (slow), but the speed is still faster than wi-fi's best of 54mbs. One thing I love about the MegaPlug - the connection is always rock-solid even if the speed varies, there are no dropped connections as is common with Wifi.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Universal remote controls SB3 but not Touch

She has decided to use it in the kitchen, where it sits next to my SB3 with a audio selector switch to pick which SB to listen to. The current issue is that when she uses the Boom remote to control the Touch, it also controls the SB3. I now see that I can use the JVC remote codes to control the SB3 independently of the Touch, but is there a way to control the Touch using IR without also controlling the SB3?

My experience was 2 minutes to rescan a drive with 3400 files, 90 minutes to rescan a drive with 38000 files. It's obviously not linear with the number of files.

Sure, there are just lots of caveats: 1) Don't use Hi-Rez material - no higher than CD quality. (because tinySC will stutter on hi-rez at default compression) 2) Don't have more than 10,000 files or so on the disk (because initial scan and rescan times can be long) 3) Don't plan on swapping disks (because rescan times can be long) 4) Don't use high FLAC compression levels (the default of -5 works OK with CD quality material). 5) Playlists can't have more than 100 entries 6) If using a 2.5" USB hard drive, make sure it has adequate power. 7) There may still be a problem/bug with artwork disappearing - it works for some folks. -- krochat -- iZotope SRC (96kHz offline upsampler) -> Touch -> TacT RCS 2.2X -> Convolver PC (w/Acourate filter)-> Apogee Big Ben -> (TacT S2150 -> Vandersteen 3a Signature + TacT S2150 -> TacT W210) krochat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77639 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

After discovering that I can't get the Touch to recognize any NTFS partition, I opened the second drive and plugged it into the Touch. It was recognized, but had no folders so I can't select it as a library. I didn't even know that one could make a 2TB FAT32 partition, but maybe that's my work-around.

[SlimDevices: Touch] File System Not Recognized?

We, all fine and dandy except that the disk IS formatted as NTFS and has one logical partition. I ran chkdsk on the drive and everything was OK. It has 2300 files, and is about a third full.

I was assuming that if you switched drives that the Touch would rescan everything on the "new" drive, causing delays and extra drive wear. If switching drives really works without excessive overhead and music on the new drive is available in a few seconds, I may just do that with my current USB enclosures rather than trying to build that 3.0TB USB disk array I was asking about on another thread.

You can use the free DD-WRT firmware with many cheap wireless routers to create a wireless bridge - see http://www.dd-wrt.com/ . I used to use this with an old Linksys WRT-54G router until the router gave up the ghost.

You probably won't get 200mbs, but you will get a rock-solid connection at wireless-G speeds at least. I've been recommending them to my relatives and they work well for them too.
