A cheap netbook and a v-link might be be a very acceptable solution for
many people. You could use a player on the netbook to play directly;
you could put a UPnP renderer on it and stream to it from a UPnP
server; you could put Squeezeplay on it and turn it into a Touch
replacement. Very

You can't assume it won't until its been tried...
Ok, who are you and what have you done with the real Phil Leigh? :)

Given that the v-link and the Touch both get their bits IN without
jitter (the Touch via TCPIP and the v-link via asynch USB), it all
boils down to which one ADDS the least jitter to the output SPDIF
Is there an easy way to recognize the sampling frequency of the played
stream?
I successfully implemented a Squeezebox Duet with clock injection from
external DAC for 44.1 kHz Streams. The Clock is located at the DAC and
the Squeezebox is synced to the external Clock. BCK and WS are
generated

yes - you have got sox taking in an ogg file and outputting a flac file
into INGUZ. You need sox to output a wav file not flac.
[sox] -t ogg $FILE$ -t wav...
It worked and not. If I test with a Ogg file it works. But I rely want
to use it with Spotify live ogg

The pluging doesn´t kick in and whatever file setting I am using for
ogg has no effect. It plays fine even with everything

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to simply have one clock frequency in the
DAC and resample everything (say to 48k) via SOX?.
I want to follow the multibit NOS approach with no data interaction.

If the Touch + v-link + DAC sounded better than the Touch + DAC then I
would either
a) get rid of my DAC, for it is not doing a very good job

Actually I was considering the rDAC because I think that WIRELESS async

I've heard the rDAC - wasn't particularly impressed TBH.
Yes but this had me thinking... what's great conceptually about the
rDAC is the use of KLEER wireless technology for wireless usb async.
The big question is - can we also use this KLEER wireless technology

The stand-out feature of the rDAC is their use under licence of dCS
Asynchronous USB technology. If you add the KLEER wireless stuff on top

Then this USB to SPDIF converter really have to produce an spdif out of

I do get why you want this from a laptop for example
This is a very interesting topic, unfortunately its also fairly
complicated.
First I'll cover a few basics, then in subsequent posts cover some
details.
As has been mentioned before, as far as jitter goes whats really
important is the jitter at the DAC chip itself. There are MANY

Probably Two Door Cinema Club's Tourist History. So compressed I have to
drop the volume 20db to avoid bursting my drivers or ear drums. Awful.
Still, it's catchy music.

Sounds like it was recorded on a 60's battery powered consumer mono 3

Music isn't so good either.
