Are you connecting the USB drive to the Touch or to your computer?
If the Touch it should just recognize the USB drive and start it's
internal server.

There is a different configuration you need for HRTs. I'll try and
gather the appropriate stuff for you today and post it. It might
already be in the thread though.
With the right configuration you can get them working great in 16 bit
mode, this means you can play redbook (cd rips or internet
thanks, just into the touch directly

Same problem here. It usually occurs after half an hour or so of
listening, and then the only solution is to hard reboot the Touch.
Otherwise, the rebuffering continues with pauses of typically 20+
seconds, interspersed with ~1 second bursts of music.
And yes, it does occur with mp3s as well -

Does anybody know if the 7.6 firmware solves this problem?
The problem does not appear in 7.6 but you have to make a clean
install.
1. Factory reset
2. Remove old database files
3. Install 7.6
4. Rescan your files
Since I run 7.6 I never had any rebuffering problems

Dear John,
I have found the right setup for HRT DAC's in the post #113
pcm.usbdac {
type hw;
card II;
}
ctl.usbdac {
type hw;
card II;
}
pcm.!default usbdac
I also changed the buffer to 5. I will
That should be all you need, just plug in the USB drive, Touch will
inform you it has detected a USB device and will add USB to your Home
Menu, should self-start the TinySC server on.
Every once in a while you may need to *prod* the start of TinySC by
simply selecting USB from the Home Menu, then
OK, here's an update: I sent back the Touch under Amazon's lovely
30-day return policy, politely remarking that the SBS, while obviously
flexible and powerful, is also a bit finicky and wasn't working
properly in my application. I will probably post a long review on
Amazon one of these days,
Hello - only just saw your comment re. sending the problem file. By all
means upload the file somewhere and send me the details, if this is

Thank you for the advice. Well, very strange in a good way. I've tried
wav files again and I am astounded. The sound quality has transformed,
and is really good. I had the touch volume at 100% before, so its not
that. I'm guessing its a run-in thing.
Anyway, the sound quality of wav files are
I've received an ALAC file from Zonker92 to test with - Loaded it onto
my NV+ (4 bay version of the Duo but with identical processor) which is
running a recent build of SBS 7.6 and streamed the track to SqueezePlay
running on my MacBook.
The track played perfectly - no skips or pauses. The NAS
Thanks for the testing!
Yes, I didn't, and don't, think the file itself is the problem. If it
had been, it would not have been intermittent. My best bet is that SBS
just doesn't run well on my NASDuo. The stop/start problem occurred
when I tried it both wirelessly and wired.

Its also critical to set the sample bits. In post 113 I said to set it
to 32, it turns ANYTHING other than 24 sets it to 16 bits, so you might
as well set it to 16 so its not confusing.
This works with the HRTs because they can accept data in either 16 or
24 bit format. Many other asynch DACs
