Unlike Stereophile, relates mostly to Touch as digital source to DAC.
Rates it as an inexpensive way to get audiophile quality sound,and even
more so when using an external DAC.

I have had the Touch since product launch.
I compared the Touch as a transport to my Bel Canto CD-2 (not too cheap
at around $3,000) and I can't tell a difference either into my Bel Canto
DAC3.
I say this is all because of the high end linux sound system built into
the Touch. I've experimented
Hi there all!
I guess this might be a question of quite general interest...
I'm kind of a disappointed newcomer. Just bought a Touch and expected
too much of the word audiophile used in Logitech's publicity for the
Touch. I ripped my CDs using EAC, so the most accurate way I know of,

Hi there,
Just a post to confirm that this mod works with (my) HRT Music Streamer
II+.
BUT (in my case) it did not work just out of the box (my
Squeezebox is brand new, just bought today).
The HRT was not listed in aplay -l. I tried to reboot a hundred times,
to hotplug/unplug ... still
Best, most comprehensive review I've read.
(Not having read THE review unfortunately... :))

How do you get the Touch to play the premium Di.fm streams?
Sorry for asking the obvious, but have you paid/signed up for the
DI/Sky.FM premium account?
If so, all you need to do is add the App to your MySqueezebox.com
account, login with your DI/Sky.FM login and password
Thanks for your help!
Yes, I was trying to connect to the old SD card. I am unable to
discover the Squeezebox in my network.

Are you trying this from Windows Explorer? That should work if the IP

I also would like to know why using the USB output is superior (is it?)

I was able to login with SSH, but still, the device isn't accessible.
If I goto the SB Touch that is listed as one of the computers in my

I've got a bunch of SB Booms scattered around my house, but I'm giving
some thought to replacing one of them with a Touch and powered speakers

Hi there all!
1. Has anyone noted a important improvement using an external DAC?
Which DAC, and how is it connected?
2. What is, technically speaking, closer to the naitive format used
by the touch, S/PDIF or USB? I mean, with which connection could one

Well, the labels really like to re-issue most of their catalogs with
every format change. Makes for a quick buck (or many such!).

How true! Now if only the re-issues sounded better than the originals,
which is rarely the case.
One can only hope that with
