I'm deciding on which way to go with these, which will be used with an
external DAC to be decided. Tempted to just plump for the Touch, but
does anyone have comparative experience of the modded receiver?
If Touch, what about a Teddyduet Power Supply - anyone tried this? It
virtually doubles the

Can't help you directly on the choice between Touch and Audiocom-modded
duet, but just thought i would complicate things a bit further. I had
my DAC modded by audiocom (and was very happy with this), but am aware
from my discussions with mark that he does not feel able to mod the

A higher end Atom should probably be fine as long as you avoid formats
that need transcoding. If you used mp3, 16 x 256kbps is only 4mbps.
This would probably work fine over wifi as long as you are careful to
use a good router (802.11n with MIMO antennas) and the server is not
wireless.
Just a thought. You mention the DAC output is via RCA phono jacks.
My preamp an Adcom GFP-750, has both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced RCA
input choices.
Only one input may be used at a time; and if you elect to use the
unbalanced RCA input one must jump pins 1 3 of the balanced XLR plug
to
Thanks for the tips folks - that helps.
Yes, I had planned to run a wired network for this anyway, lots of
concrete and steel around.

I hesitate to meddle in the affairs of dragons because I am small,
crunchy and go well with pickles but wonder if you have thought of an
SB+ (http://www.at-tunes.co.uk/) as an option? I bought one recently
and it sounds good to me though I am generally reckoned to have cloth

Use the cheap drives, you don't need 7200 rpm drives to stream music. I
would highly recommend using a Linux based operating system.
Hi Guys
Help!! I've just received a NAD M2 digital amp which in theory can
accept any digital sample rate from 32-192kHz. However, when I connect
my beloved Transporter (TS) to it there's nothing coming out the other
side.
The M2 isn't locking on to the digital signal from the TS. I also own a

That's certainly true for streaming to a couple of players, but if I
were doing 16 simultaneous streams I would want a little more assurance
on the drive end.
Also people are constantly

yes, bit perfect-ness is absolutely not an issue.
Just take decent DAC with both SPDIF and USB inputs and listen to

Bit perfect - either it is bit perfect, or not. There is nothing in
between. If it is not, probably there is

Hi,
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but the game has changed with
the demise of the Transporter ...
I currently have an Arcam FMJ23 CD player as my primary source and it
recently went on the blink. I could and should at least try to have it
repaired, but it
