Hi soundcheck
I've compared the difference
1) ReadyNas Duo 1GB, firmware 4.1.7, SqueezeBoxServer 7.6.0~31873
2) Win 7 64bit, 8GB, SqueezeBoxServer 7.6.0~31873
I personally find that the ReadyNas Duo sounds better. Cleaner with
tigher bass.

I've gone back to 7.5.1 and I've got my album art back. It's randomly
decided that the icon to show when I'm streaming BBC Radio 6 should be

I know there are a lot of posts regarding the Touch's built-in server
being less than stellar, so I wasn't expecting much from it.
Unfortunately, I got a lot less than I expected.

for testing than anything) is on a 16GB SD

That's an interesting way to use a SB Touch. You could install
SqueezePlay on your pc and then control SqueezePlay using the Touch.
But why not use it the way it was intended, which is to connect the

I would like to do this in a couple different ways: stream the audio

Do you have a theory for how this can affect sound quality? According
to the specification page for the Touch, it's wired ethernet 'connects

wouldn't a Linux box end up talking to the Touch at 100Mbps

Mnyb,
That is a very good point about the 24/96 converted to 16/48 and the
