Julf Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Would love a comparison with the (substantially cheaper) Musical Fidelity V-Link 192. Link to comment
Julf Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The USB standard doesn't specify a minimum. I have seen a recommendation for actively driven Ethernet patch cords not to be shorter than 4 feet, but for USB and AES your 5-6 ft is probably close to optimal - any longer, and capacitance/inductance starts to build up.

Julf Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 There is a (simple) hack to get USB output from the Squeezebox Touch. Don't know if it is better than the S/PDIF. Link to comment

I'm guessing that the stripped down version of Linux embedded in the Touch won't be up to the task. Just a guess.</i>"<br /> <br /> Ah, good point - didn't realize the Berkeley USB required updated drivers. Link to comment
