What is your set-up for Redbook and Hi-res Playback?
I'm using Mac mini as the media server, streaming files via ethernet cable into Logitech Squeezebox Touch, and from there into Beresford Bushmaster DAC via digital coax.
Both the Touch and the DAC are powered by battery.
The true benefits of high resolution recordings require a bit more than what a Touch and modest DAC can deliver in order to fully appreciate.
The Touch itself is limited to 24/96. You might consider joining the ranks of many others who have sold their Touch players and have moved onto the Raspberry Pi platform for a near even swap money wise with decided performance gains in transparency and low end response.
Point taken. I know that Touch is by now a legacy platform. But I'm putting all my time and money now into the analog system, so I don't have the cycles needed to replace the Touch with Raspberry Pi (although I do have the little bugger sitting in my drawer).
If you get a minute, would you be able to point me at a good resource for the DIY project for setting up Raspberry Pi to stream hi-res content?
I asked the same question back in February. Responses found here .
Your 5V battery supply will work the RPi, but you most likely will need a different cable. Fortunately, getting a USB to mini-USB is pretty easy.
