| Asynch USB or super clock thru S/PDIF for $3.5k? Marcober, I'm quite certain that you can't do it yet.I'm assuming that you're still trying to connect Ayre with your Squeezebox, because that's likely the only reason on the planet for trying this.If you've been keeping up with John Swenson, et.al... | |
| NAD 317 vs. C 326BEE Protean, welcome to the forum.I'm assuming that you own a pair of the Alpha LR1's with recommended input power of 15-80 Watts? Note the fine print:(RMS, Clipping <10% Time). So those are values for (root mean square)average input power.Either t... | |

| Asynch USB or super clock thru S/PDIF for $3.5k? Lewinskih01,Your post suggests that for your first approach you may have already verified that Ayre QB-9 and other asynch's can now play well with the Touch.
