[slim] SB Touch For Sale

2014-11-08 Thread vrette
I have a SB Touch for sale. I thought I would try here before putting it on eBay. It is in excellent working and cosmetic condition and includes all of the original accessories, manuals and packaging. The reason I'm selling it is I've replaced it with SqueezePlay on a PC. I'm in IL and I prefer to

For cheap, but great, USB DACs take a look at the HiFiMeDIY ones. I have a couple of the asynchronous ones on my secondary zone players and they are really quite impressive. Plus you can add the voltage regulator option afterwards to get a noticeable improvement too. Two track 1's and no track

I'm going to find a USB DAC, I've been looking at the reviews and honestly trying to find a cheap one that will work for me. The PicorePlayer is interesting to me but because I'm a computer guy, having a spare NIX box around is always welcome. In fact, one of the first things I did with Squezepl
