rgbyhkr Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Similar to Signal is an app called Remote Buddy. Very similar but with a whole bunch of additional control functionality so you can control a variety of apps from the iPhone/iPod Touch. As with Signal, the app runs on the Mac and you access control through the browser.

audioengr Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 The significance of this should not be overlooked.<br /> <br /> This is a really good way not only to get wireless control of iTunes, but you can get USB output at 24/96 to a converter or USB DAC.<br /> <br /> This is the best of all worlds. remote-control of iTunes without WiFi interference of the music streams and 24/96 hi-res playback.<br /> <br /> I would recommend doing this over using an AirPort Express because the AE is limited to 16/44.1. Just locate your computer or laptop within 16 feet of your USB converter or DAC and us it only for ripping and formatting etc.. Control all playback from the Touch.<br /> <br /> Steve N.<br /> Empirical Audio Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I am guessing you meant to say that you <strong>wouldn't</strong> recommend this over the AE because of the 16/44.1 limitation. If this is the case I agree 100%. With a quiet laptop or Mac Mini using USB or S/PDIF is a much better solution.<br /> <br /> This remote control option is much more significant than most people are realizing at this point. With the iPod Touch & Signal there are really no limits to what users can do with their music servers. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
audioengr Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I recommend using USB over AE WITH Mac because you can stream 24/96. AE is limited to 16/44.1. With the Touch or iPhone controlling iTunes, now you have remote control from the listening position without needing a laptop at your side.<br /> <br /> I do not recommend using iTunes on a PC for USB output.<br /> <br /> Steve N.<br /> Empirical Audio Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Now I'm on the same page. I think I just misunderstood your previous post. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
