Hi Ronnie, you're a really nice guy. As for me so far I'm happy with mybookLive for now. I'm willing to take some annoyances and live with it. I considered Pi before but it seems mybooklive is able to feed 24/192 files adequately. I live in Toronto Canada, if you want to visit us, I'll be more

I'm using the DAC with USB 2 connection, meaning the highest spec. possible. Anyway, I notice that the digital connection issue is a hit and miss, meaning even I skip using app at all Touch eventually gets wonky if digital connection is cut off. I have re set up to have Touch, DAC and amp all co

Just a message on top left corner Enhanced Digital Output and I think something that says not supported by Logitech. I'll give another shot tonight. It seems if I turn SBT off at the unit itself things are actually fine when I activate it again. Kenneth Man in a van wrote: > Kenneth, what do

Thanks for the reply. I'm using Squeezer to turn SBT off. I'm testing to actually control SBT at the unit, stop and let it go into screensaver mode. Seems like it works better. And to answer your question: EDO message does show up a boot screen. Kenneth Man in a van wrote: > out of interest

I bought a used SBT 2 weeks ago. Here's my setup: - Media server in my Mybooklive - Connecting to SBT via ethernet - SBT using EDO using USB cable to feed Cambridge DAC - Play is controlled by app Here's what I've found: If I shut off SBT via app and don't play for a while, then when I start SBT

I think my state before SBT is pretty much similar to you. I guess for me now is to explore either Pi or Vortexbox. Thanks! garym wrote: > not really. Once setup you'll find that it all works very well and is > simpler than running notebook to DAC. Pre-squeezebox, I used a laptop > with attac

I will test setting up media server on MyBook first to see if it process 24/192 decent enough. Then consider Pi with Max2Play. I was hoping to eliminate the need of connecting notebook to DAC by having a SBT but it seems I have complicated my life a bit more. We shall see. Thanks! d6jg wrote:

Thanks for good information. A few thoughts: On (1) Pi is probably a good idea. I've been feeding music to DAC from notebook for quite some years already, the idea to get SBT is have SBT does the job instead of relying on a PC. But Pi may work well! On (2) I'll test between WiFi and Ethernet, I
