Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch often goes silent when sync'd

Same problem as the OP here. A Touch in the lounge, synced with a Boom in the Kitchen, both connected by wifi, and the Touch often just goes silent. It seemingly hasn't crashed, since I'm able to use its own (soft) power button to turn it off and restart it. I also believe that the same thing

The Touch is a solid piece of equipment. The interface is intuitive and smooth. All the other SB players are good too; I've probably had the most headache with a receiver that I took out of commission for the Touch. The server side of things is mature. Yesterday I built an i3 computer from

I have to agree with GaryM. I have multiple Squeezebox Networks setup (own more then one home and have a Beta Test Network setup) and don't have a single issue with any of them. Yes, the Sonos is just plug them in, but boy what a price is paid for that and some flexibility is lost. It is my

Uninstall iTunes and disable iTunes integration in Squeezebox Server. You don't want it. You don't need any other software to play FLAC files on the Squeezebox using Squeezebox Server. However, you will find a need from time to time to listen to FLAC files on your PC, just to preview them.

I already I know that I can use Squeezeserver on my computer to control my Touch. But is there a way to use my laptop as a remote to control my Touch when the Touch is using TinySB? I can control my Touch by using SqueezeCommander on my Android phone. I was wondering if there were a similar

Will using either of the SPDIF coaxial or orange digital coaxial lead to any difference in sound quality when listening to 24-bit files? Does outputting through these bypass using the SB's DAC/processing? If the digital outputs are being put into a modern receiver such as the AVR-890

DAC= *D*igital To *A*nalog *C*onverter Yes a digital output has nothing to do with the DAC. If you want to keep it bitferfect you lock the squeezebox volume at 100%. This can be done in the server settings. Likevise functions like replaygain can also be turned off to be sure to get bitperfect
