theres no problem. But when I try to play these on the duet, it does not play them and says unsupported sample rate or something to that effect. If sox was working shouldn't it play at 48 hz? -- dhinesh Squeezebox Touch, Duet and Classic, Ayre C 5 XE MP CD Player, Audio Research Ref 5 Preamp

be an option. Still waiting for him to iron out the noise issues. Thanks for all the input. BTW if you are in the market for a USB DAC, check out the Audio Research DAC 8. GREAT SOUND!! Very impressive indeed! -- dhinesh Squeezebox Touch, Duet and Classic, Ayre C 5 XE MP CD Player, Audio Research

much can you fit it? NOT MUCH as they recommend using Solid state drives. The bigger sizes are very expensive. I need 2 TB to fit my stuff. So have to keep working on the touch till I get where I want to go! -- dhinesh Squeezebox Touch, Duet and Classic, Ayre C 5 XE MP CD Player, Audio Research

. There are two issues here that we are discussing: 1) Mods on the touch (2) getting good sound using wlan. Transporter obviously does not need any mods but the 2nd issue: WLAN: does the transporter resolve this as well? Please advise. Thanks -- dhinesh Squeezebox Touch, Duet and Classic, Ayre C 5 XE

the power supplies, etc only to find out that its of no use as my ears will still not be happy. Request everyone that is interested in getting a good sound using WLAN to study the above and give input. Or is there no way to get good sound using WLAN? This is a mystery to me! Thanks -- dhinesh

digital out goes into the benchmark which goes into my ARC REf3 preamp and then the ML 436. Sounds great, if I could only get the 24 / 96 to work. Can buy a transporter but will not be able to play the stuff on the squeezebox. Need help! tks -- dhinesh
