Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] gave up with tinySBS but got improved sound
I understand where you chaps are coming from. I haven't experienced that many issues with TinySBS, but also feel that my Touch sounds better when it's got an external server providing the data, so have also gone back to that method. Whilst it is dissapointing that TinySBS is a bit second rate, look on the bright side, as a digital transport the Touch really is very very good. I've owned a modded Meridian 500 CD transport and believe that the Touch is better, and that's before I added a good linear PSU, which has moved the Touch on even further. -- Mr_Sukebe SB Touch, Meridian 568.2, Bel Canto Evo2i, Impulse Ta'us, Coherent system, audio-technica and Zanash cables, Stillpoints Mr_Sukebe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10609 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83555 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] gave up with tinySBS but got improved sound
After months of persevering and tweaking, I have given up on the tinySBS after seeing...Local Server has encountered a problem and needs to shut down for the 500th time :( So took my hard drive back up to my pc and sat down to listenclear, demonstrable difference in the sound quality. Seems as though the attached drive adds quite a bit of noise into the system and/or the extra processing was degrading the sound. Overall highly dissapointed with Logitech for the tinySBS debacle but the damn thing sounds very good when run like a traditional SBox. -- atchi123 atchi123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83555 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
