Let me preface this post by saying the only - and I mean only - reason I bought a Touch was for the 24/96 and 24/88.1 streaming. All of its other capabilities are unimportant to me, other than that fact that it integrates with all my other Logitech squeezeboxen.
Here are my preliminary results. Note, the only thing I've done to this thing is add VU meters, so I decided to turn those off, so all of my results are with a static image of the album art. Wireless setup: WPA2/AES, wireless G, awesome signal/bandwidth based upon bandwidth test Wired setup (groan) - straight to gigabit router which his hooked via gigabit to the server. All tests with "The Pizza Tapes" from HDtracks (Garcia/Grisman/Rice, 24/88.1) Wireless: stutters with native flac encoding for first few seconds. Gaps between tracks. Wireless: no stuttering with streaming wav files from server (disable native flac in server settings) but still gap between tracks. Wired: no stuttering no matter what I do but gaps between tracks. Logging in and running top indicates for the stuttering setup, there are extended periods (several seconds) where the CPU state is 0% idle, meaning it's maxed out. This is bad. I also saw a several second period where the CPU state was 100% sirq. CPU load is still pretty high with other settings but I don't care so long as it plays hirez flac files just like redbook flac files. -- Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10619 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77080 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
