Which marketing are you talking about ?
There isn't much indication in the material on their web shop that
indicates that you need a local server to use the device ? Have I

Also a x86 server box at 300$ can you really get a quality machine with
good spec for that ? At least it must have a separate flash or ssd for

It would be really nice if it's confirmed by somebody at Sony or

In th
I recall reading an article in recent years celebrating an anniversary
of the CD format. In it they discussed the facts and myths surrounding
the format's development, including why 74 minutes and so forth. If I

developer.

Yes the ninth. I have no idea whether it's true, but I have heard
various versions
I think the missing link is a decent server. The item most people have
most trouble with is the server software on their PC - esp as most
don't want to leave it on 24/7.
Tiny SBS works just about OK in the Touch, but IMHO a full

You can edit the favorites.opml file on the Touch, as described in this
thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85913&page=2
If you're on Windows then WinSCP would be a good tool to use for this
task. It may also be a good idea to stop TinySBS before editing
favorites.opml.

I agree with TerryS on this (noting PL's point about dither). I don't
think the evidence for the roughness of 16 bit CD sound is a subtle
audio point. Listen to any recording of a string quartet when they play
a quiet passage and the roughness of the sound is perfectly obvious. On
some recordings,
Streaming to SB3 is downsampled to 24/48.

Just recently I've been buying a few High Resolution items, these are

plays them back perfectly and they sound great...but I was wondering if
it was performing any sort of conversion (to 16bit44.1khz perhaps)
