I've a TacT 2.2xp digital preamp and I found that if I feed the
subwoofer toslink output from 2.2xp to the toslink input of the
Transporter (TP) and tell TP to sync its clock on the toslink input, the
sound is noticeably better.
I don't understand why this is the case, as TP is supposed to have

OK, I've not yet seen a Touch. But the general impression I get from
what I've read around here is that it's a fine piece of kit.
Secondly, it is now blindingly obvious that Logitech are EOL'ing the
Transporter.
Is the Touch a credible replacement? In some contexts, probably yes.
But in others,

I am in the process of trying to take the next step in evolution for my
computer audiophile world. I have been running SBS on my laptop and
storing music on the latop too, and streaming to a Transporter digital
out to a Berkeley Alpha DAC. I have out grown this method so I am
playing around with
The only possible sonic difference would be if the server fails to
deliver the bits to the Transporter in a timely fashion, i.e., if you
get audio dropouts or stuttering or the like. There are no subtle
differences: a NAS won't give you a better soundstage, a laptop won't be
more transparent, and
looked at the vortex box but the readynas is the one that logitech
supports so i went with it. i rip on my laptop with dbpoweramp so no
need for that function. i also felt the readynas had more features than
the vortexbox. that being said, it looks like a very fine product and i
saw zero negative
A NAS is OK for what it was originally designed for, namely Network
Attached STORAGE. It simply won't perform as well as a proper computer
when running SBS.

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't what you'd call minimal...

phil i think i am finding that out. i got the readynas duo sort of
working and it is super slow responding to commands from sbs vs the
blackarmor where sbs ran on my laptop.. it also doubled amny of the
songs in transfer. i wonder why logitech endorses this and only this nas
when it seems to run

thanks for the input phil. i think a nas works best for me because i
can't drag the hd around with my laptop. that seagate blackarmor was

may send the readynas duo back and go this route. i may have to exchange

Hmm that sucks. Bumping hoping that someone knows more about the

If you are willing to give up on the NAS idea, then there are a lot of
inexpensive, small form fact PC solutions available. The least expensive
route is to re-purpose and old desktop or laptop. Or there are
super-small devices like the Sheevaplug. And the Vortexbox Appliances

not an easy task right now phil, this has really been trying! hopefully
i will get it figured out soon and back to enjoying the music...

So the former squeezebox specific store on www.logitechsqueezebox.com is
closed for good.
We ran that store with a small internal team who were all part of the
squeezebox group . As a result we were able to focus strictly on
squeezebox products and accessories and make changes very quickly.

I've been running quite a few Linn and HDTracks 24/96 files, and never
had problems till very recently. After seeing this post, I found that
(at least) one recent purchase simply needed to be re-compressed at a
lower compression level. I used level 3, and everything was great. It
was driving me

Well I live in hope that someone can put together a plugin that does

has got close.

There is no way out of the box to apply an external clock sync to the
touch, you have to apply some form of surgery.
The easiest way is to replace one or both of the audio crystals with
a clock from the outside world. The touch has two crystals: 22.5792 MHz
for 44.1 and 88.2 and 24.576 MHz for
Hi,
I'd like to add my two penn'oth. I originally liked the concept of
using a NAS for SBS, as it's essentially a file serving function, and
I thought it made architectural (IT, not Building) sense.
My NAS isn't powerful enough to run SBS without issues, so I
re-purposed an old PC with
i guess i am a little confused. isn't a vortexbox appliance the same
thing as a nas like the readynas duo? i understand it is a bit more
streamlined but still a linux based nas that runs sbs just as the duo
does.
i do not know how to reconfigure an old pc but i could do it if i had a
recipe. i
I have experienced the same issue. If you re-encode the file at the
default 5 compression level, the tracks from HDTracks.com will play
fine. I run them all through a FLAC-FLAC recompression when I get them
and it has fixed all problems I have encountered. I have the same songs
that were
