Re: and squeezebox

The ideal replacement is the Touch. Where have you heard that the quality isn't up to it ? Touch sounds better from the analogue outputs too. can't be specific Chris, I havn't paid any attention to this for 3 or 4 years.......I had a vague memory of some talk about the dac not being as good when th...

and squeezebox

I was going to start a new thread but thought I'd tack on the end of this one........... during the research for the headphone thing I came across a complete lack of info on the logitech site regarding SB3 and its spec( I was trying to find the output impedance for best matching) what I did find was...

Hi Phil I spelled it incorrectly in the thread heading as you pointed out......but all my searchings have been with the correct spelling...... It would be nice to have more than the mp3 tracks........I think they are good enough to pay for, if only I could find out how..... btw thanks for the effort

I've just heard some bits from an album 'tchernovik', but can't find anything about them or where to get the album.

the genre is dark jazz I am told

anybody else feel uneasy about discussing another forum here? doesn't seem to be about music or sound and doesn't seem to me to fulfill any positive purpose.......it occurs to me that it might upset/alienate/anger people...and surely that's negative. Am I losing it or was it deemed bad form when som...

Hi Tony

I've been using them since 2006 peer to peer around my cisco router. I first installed them for the squeezebox, served from a buffalo NAS.

I havn't had a single issue with them since day 1...(touch wood).....

mine are a mixture of eConnect and solwise.....85mbs

Thanks guys.... I'm quite taken by those Chris, right price but acres of BS in the spec. I don't think yours will improve on what I've got already Nick. I'm really confused by the open vs closed thing.....All the pairs I have are closed, principally for tracking(essential to have closed), but they a...

headphones

I've recently started listening to the main music system through headphones, directly out of the back of the SB3. This has been great except the only pair of headphones that seemed to work for hifi have lost their pads.....they've started to disintegrate and leave smutty black bits of plastic in my ...

update:

2 brand new batteries out of packet last Monday - packet date 01-2016

telephone, like many new toys does not have on/off switch...they just turn themselves off(maybe) when they have been idle for a while---this I am told is progress.
