I currently run my SBT into my Benchmark DAC with spdif over coax. With a 1tb drive connected direct!y to the USB input on the SBT. I will be getting a Dspeaker Antimode 2.0 (trying room correction), that only has toslink and USB digital in. I plan on installing EDO, but will lose my USB input.

What other solutions should I consider as a local player/server that might work better? I have three 1tb drives loaded with my library. Two are backups. I don't update all three live. I load new music on the primary, then back it up to the other two drives manually. TIA.

Can't give you advice about connecting DAC and room correction. But - first piece of advice is running a "real" LMS (Logitech Media Server) rather than using the Touch's built-in (and very limited server). LMS can be run on a PC (windows, mac, linux), some NAS boxes can run LMS, and you can even

Can you put the DSPeaker unit between the Touch and the Benchmark using optical? Touch supports up to 24/96 -without- EDO. You'd still be able to use the USB for your external drive. Apesbrain's Profile:
