Greetings from Port Elizabeth, South Africa and I hope I do not bore you folk with might seem to be a very basic and trivial question.<br />
<br />
I wish to capture my CD collection in a losslees format in an attempt to maintain as much as the original quality as possible. Currently I either use the Cd's(a pain to have to change all the time) or my Ipod connected directly to the stereo. The latter has obvious loss in quality implications but great for ease of use.<br />
<br />
A digital "server" of sorts seems to be the solution to this dilemma and fortunately through my trolling on the web I came across this posting.<br />
<br />
It would appear that the LOGITECH SQUEEZEBOX TOUCH would serve my requirements spot on however I do not have the where withal to set up a wireless home network. Would one be able to connect a hard drive directly to the Touch and then link this(via RCA/optical etc.) to the stereo?<br />
<br />
I have explored other "hardrive" options such as the Pixel Magic MB200 Media box(a relatively old product with suspect backup service) as well as the Mede8er( a new product supporting the FLAC format) however these units appear to also be suitable for movies.<br />
<br />
I am looking purely for an audio solution only and suspect that a product dedicated to Audio only(i.e. SQUEEZEBOX TOUCH)would be the better option? <br />
<br />
Apologies for any grammatical errors. We have 11 official languages in South Africa and unfortunately English is not my first language.<br />
<br />
Any advice would be much appreciated<br />
<br />
