Squeezebox Touch review

Bravo to Kal, for a very informative review of the Squeezebox Touch (not to mention JA's great illustrative measurements). I particularly applaud Kal's experimentation with, and reporting, about John Swenson's (unofficial) USB output "tweak" which I was not particularly familiar with. However, I'm wondering if it was perhaps just the Ayre DX-5 DAC itself that elevated the performance of the pair, and wonder if similar tweaks could be implemented for Toslink or S/PDIF output as well (which is how I'm feeding my Benchmark DAC).

Thank You, Stephen

As no-one has yet received their October issue, to judge by the absence of posts, I'll take this opportunity thank Stephen Mejias for all the work he did in compiling the new "Recommended Components" listing. He checked all the prices and availability of all the products, wrote the text for all the new entries, and proofed the final pages. All in addition to his day job as assistant editor, forum moderator, and chief blogger!

Rock on, Stephen.

Sonny Rollins at 80

Sonny Rollins at 80

A few thousand jazz fans are feeling lightheaded this morning. They saw Sonny Rollins’ 80th-birthday concert at the Beacon Theater in New York City last night, and they’re still marveling (especially those too young to have witnessed giants walking the earth in great number) that, finally, they’ve seen a concert that made them tremble and that people will be talking about years from now.
