Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24bits/96hz is stuttering like crazy
As stated earlier my setup is cabled and I am rexperiencing minor stutter. Therefore I am cinsidering reencoding my 24/96 collection before it gets too extensive (4 albums). Only worry is that reencoding to compression level 0 will result in reduced sound quality. But if I understand the various posts in this threads this should not be the case, right? -- nicoleif nicoleif's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77550 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I have a gigabit setup (DIR-655, Qnap TS-119 and Touch). The 24/96 playback led to another problem though; the digital relay in my Audio Note DAC1.1/IIx can't handle the high rez signal I is now being modified! Hopefully the modification will eliminate that problem! -- nicoleif nicoleif's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77080 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] Power supply for the Touch?
I have some time ago "upgraded" my SB Classic with a 5V/2A regulated power supply (a Danbit) which should result in a somewhat significant gain in resolution. Does the Touch also use 5V/2A power supply so that I can switch the power supplies using the Danbit for the Touch? -- nicoleif nicoleif's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77487 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/96 Perfromance Issue (& Solution!)
My Touch is arriving shortly and this thread is making me nervous. A main reason for me to buy the Touch is also 24/96 and this thread shows that even playing from external USD drives directly plugged in resulted in stutters! Thus the bottleneck must be in the Touch. I myself have a gigabit seup (router DIR-655 and Qnap TS-119) so I hope not to encounter stutters! -- nicoleif nicoleif's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77080 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
