  1. Hy feekh, Would like to help you but I did not tried the usb input and I do not have any experience with apple products. Would agree with chris that usb inputs have improved but did it happenned with Dac Magic? would be more confident with the new upcoming dacmagic+ on this issue. You will have to try on your own and let us know the results Robert.
  2. Rudy, You have a very good point there. Getting a touch will resolve most of my high res files problems except for the 176.4 files (don't have much anyway),of course I would have prefer to get full 192/24 resolution but the actual equipment who stream them are quite expensive for now,getting the files downgraded in 96/24 is not bad after all. The touch at 350CDN$ is a real bargain and having the SB3 for nearly 3 years now, makes me happy to follow with the same software base. After that point I will be ready for the final upgrade in my system which will be getting a good DAC. Your help has been truly apreciated. Thanks a lot to you and Chris, quite happy to see the help we can get from other audiophiles in this hobby which is getting more high tech than ever. Robert.
  3. Thank you for the quick feedbacks on my issue. Rudy, I was amazed by your efficient and helpfull comnents. The excel file gave me explanation to what was really happening. I should have checked that before buying the Synology. A solution would be the acquisition of Touch to replace de Duet, would not be worthwile as I will still have my high res files downsampled to 24/48 due to Synology. I really hope they fix that problem soon (I will go after them to)! I decided that meanwhile a new Synology squeezserver version is availiable, I will keep my high res files on my Acer desktop wich is already doing the downsampling correctly, leave all other files < 48khz on the Synology and switch sources from the duet remote. Will still have opportunity to play my high res files thru ACER/Cambridge basement set up. I will now concentrate on next improvment for my duet/naim XS set up, witch will be getting a better DAC. will consider new DAC Magic+ and audiolab MDAC. Does this make sense to you. Thank's a lot again and hello to switzerland, we were there this september and really enjoy your country. Robert. Canada
  4. Hi, After reading your review on Synology DS411 slim, I bought brand new Synology DS411(regular) to act as music server with my squeezbox duet and dac magic (toslink connection)connected to Naim XS amp. Network connection is wired trugh ethernet cat6 wires. This set up tookover a recent Acer desktop computer with 600G HD filled with mp3, cd's ripped under FLAC and HIGH RES 24/88, 24/96 and 24/192 files. Everything is working fine with files transfered from my previous computer to the NAS, except the HIGH RES FILES. Which are availaible on the squeezbox but no sound is coming out (they were working fine on the ACER/squeezbox although downgraded to 24/48). Just read the previous post and I am now under pannic; If I get it it right Synology NAS downgrade high res to 16/41. I also tried to connection on my Cambridge 640R (onboard 24/192 dac), no more success on high res, still no sound. I bought the NAS due to my increasing number of high res files. Is there an application I can install on the 411 or some set up I can do to allow high res to be output from the 411. thank's
