Hi Currently I have a numbers of Logitech Receiver units in different room. During the latest years I have collected a lot of music, mainly classical, in 24/192 flac format. I am planning upgrade my main system by adding a external DAC. I have tried to find out if Logitech Receiver plays

Given that SBT can be used as digital transport into your DAC of choice, your comment seems non-sensical to me. pandasharka wrote: Those people who proffer that all streamers dish out the same music are simply wrong.

For the last few days, I've been listening to my main system (see sig below) with EDO+TT3.0+buffer=2+SBGK's priorities of 03-25-12. My impression is that there is an improvement in sound over the SBT+TT3.0 alone, very much along the lines of the improvements from plain SBT to TT2.0 and 3.0.

There has been some discussion on the Touch forum about the EDO app and the potential benfits to audio quality from the spdif output at 96k and below. This is not the primary purpose of the enhanced digital ouput app but people have debated whether any possible change in audio quality exists. I

The way EDO works when selecting the 192 digital out will use less memory and will result in less processing going on. (please note that this output will do all sample rates up to and including 192, not JUST 192). What Triode has done here COULD have been done with the original S/PDIF driver (and

FWIW--one of the more obvious differences in SQ (in addition to those I noticed with EDO) was soundcheck's advice to cause FLAC decoding to be done on the LMS instead of the sbt. It doesn't require the TT3.0. This improvement was very clear and required a simple setting change to the file
