Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Unsupported Sample Rate

2012-01-06 Thread CharlieG
My understanding is the Touch does not support anything above 24/96. When using LMS/SbS on your PC, the software coverts 24/192 to 24/96 and sends to your Touch. The Touch is not seeing the 24/192. The server in the Touch itself does not have enough computing power to make this conversion,

fr8dog, If you are using either digital out from the Touch then the Touch's DAC is not being used. I think what you are asking is why can't the Touch's TinySC server just send the 24/192 file to my external DAC via digital out as it does with any other files on the Touch's USB or SD?. Confirm if

This is still consistent with my scenario, provided that: 1) The SqueezeOS players don't -continuously- sync their clocks against LMS. 2) Your NAS doesn't -continuously- sync its clock against an NTP server. But if you know for certain that your NAS clock never drifts, my scenario has got to be
