Thank you John, for your careful listening tests. If I read you correctly, it seems that your recent FLAC tests seem to favour the use of the Touch in standalone mode with TinySC : JohnSwenson;485927 Wrote: Next I tried from TinySC. This is just flac since it does not support wav and

Hi again! It might seem a bit odd to add a USB CD to a Squeezebox. Probably easier to connect an ordinary audio Cdplayer as someone said. My problem is that i want to make a squeezebox combo with the Nuforce Icon amp which only got a single analog input.

C'mon guys, Andy is right. If it's to discuss these matters, it's better to bring this discussion to the Audiophile forum. The SB Touch forum is a general forum, and most people don't understand the nuances of your argumentation. -- Themis SB3 - North Star dac 192 - Cyrus 8xp - Sonus Faber

Let me reitterate, In these tests the same FLAC file was used for all tests. TinySC as commonly configured does not transcode, so when playing a FLAC file it can only send a FLAC stream to the player. Currently it does not support WAV files so I can only hear FLAC decoding from TinySC right now.

Great thread here. I've toyed with the idea of putting a Slim Devices player in my car ever since my first SliMP3 but have never done it. I would be fine using my iPod touch in the car... IF IT WAS USABLE IN LANDSCAPE!!! For years I have been annoyed at the ridiculous cover flow of the iPod
