Just go for anything that catches your eye within your budget & that has reviews that you identify wirh. I have three Touchs in different areas of the house, with very different amps & sets of speakers. I love it but it certainly isn't perfect. It just works for me. Especially when everything is

Almost everything I have read from properly independent reviewers, i.e. NOT people who are paid to review top end audiophile stuff, who have looked at MQA in detail, have said that it is simply not worth spending a single cent on it. In essence, it is considered a proper fraud .. only some people

Why don't you just MP3tag the whole album & ensure that the album art is included that way. I always have the folder.jpg or png included in the tags AND in the track folder. A On Sun, 01 Nov 2020, 17:12 Dibster, < dibster.9ro...@no-mx.forums.slimdevices.com> wrote: > > Sorry to re-visit an old

For sure. Much better use physical connection for hi-res. Wi-Fi is not good enough at all - copes with ordinary FLAC but over about 1000Kbps, it will stutter & rebuffer over & over On Sat, 25 Jan 2020, 22:14 gellie, < gellie.9d8...@no-mx.forums.slimdevices.com> wrote: > > So I’m still having

Do you also use Squeezeplay?? I often find that I have to "sort" the players so that when they synnchronize, I do the Touchs first and THEN add Squeezplay. I also make sure that the Touchs are not linked to the Wi-Fi router but to the satellite (I have an Orbi set up) ... All this started to
