well i bought the damn thing...this was the most useful post in this
thread, and it's all about the drivers- there appears to be no way, or
no easy way, to install the necessary drivers on the touch.

ah well, the $20 question answered.

i think it will fix the WiFi problem; the question is will the Touch
recognize it via the USB input.

yes, it's the same type of problem as reported for the Radio.  the
vonets probably will work fine,, but the usb antenna is a more elegant
solution i think than the dongle.

i suppose the question is, will the USB port on the touch power the
antenna, and will the antenna appear as an alternate network source in
the touch settings?

[SlimDevices: Touch] USB WiFi adapter

2020-07-20 Thread netchord


I continue to have problems connecting the Touch to my wifi network.  as
a possible solution, i'm considering adding a Wifi adapter, either via
the ethernet port, or, more elegantly, to the USB port of the Touch. 
I'm not using EDO.  would something like this work?

thanks- i wasn't necessarily talking about using EDO.  my plan was to
use USB for power, and coax for signal.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch USB output voltage

Thinking of adding the new Schiit Modius dac to my Touch setup, and
would like to power it via USB.  Schiit says if the Touch can output 5V
from its USB port then it should work.  does anyone know if it can?

why does 1 or 11 work better than 6?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] My SBT don't see LMS

2020-01-15 Thread netchord


Hi Gorlando,

I've had a similar issue, but recently made a change and it's made a
difference: i switched from IPv4 to IPv6 on my router.  if you have
access to your router settings, and this option is available, it might
be something to try.

also, did you by chance recently switch from ethernet to WiFi?  if so,
you might have to go into setting and connect to the WiFi network, and
enter a password (even if this had been done previously).

Cheers, and i hope you figure this out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput

2013-12-02 Thread netchord

I've added a 2nd system, with SBT and an NAD D7050 dac/amp.  on the
whole I'm enjoying the NAD (although I have some room/speaker issues
that currently inhibit a full report on the system).  I've added EDO,
and the NAD is recognized, and I can stream to it w/o the need for a USB
Hub.  however, i occasionally get "clicks" or "pops" when streaming via
USB.

this does not occur via Toslink.

I have not tried Coax.  I do not have and 24/192 content, so testing is
limited to 16 & 24 bit, 44, 48, 88, & 96k.
