So it's pretty much what I expected. The touch would be in place of the PC I have hooked up to the receiver. I admit using a Windows 7 PC as a music player overkill in most cases but in my case, the PC is part of the entertainment system (running windows Media Center with a 'silicon dust Home Run with a cable card) so it's already hooked up to my receiver. It was simple to just add squeezeplay and the LMS and suddenly I had a whole house system that can synchronize to other PCs and the squeeze box radio I bought about a month ago. The whole squeezebox/slimdevices system is great. I wish I discovered it sooner but I think it will all still function for at least a few more years maybe longer. I may still want to buy the touch for future needs but the replies posted here show that I'm not missing any capability with my current setup. As far as being limited to the PC's sound card, that's true but in my case, I'm using the digital output so it relies on the receivers DAC which is nothing audiophile-exotic but it's pretty good (It's built in to a pioneer AV Receiver). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ geobrick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56650 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96578 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
