Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput

[tank121]

Just wanted to check this will work with the above?

I'm using Squeezplug with a dockstar, do I still need to install the plugin directly on the Touch ?

Using my M-dac do I just need the USB Cable or have fellow MDAC users been using a hub?

I am trying to install the applet but get the following error: No Applets Found.

Relevant info:
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.2 - r33893
Squeezebox Touch Firmware: 7.7.2-r9663

Recommended Applets Only is deselected.

When I select 3rd Party Apps the Touch says Fetching Applet List then moves onto the 3rd Party Apps screen reporting No Applets Found.

I have rebooted my PC and Touch and combed through all settings on the Touch, Media Server and mysqueezebox.com. Is there a setting somewhere I need to enable? Help...

Just installed but haven't to choose the method without hub, I'm using the Mdac.

Just to clarify for playing normal cd rips to Flac I don't need the hub.

It's only for 192 hires files that I need a hub? These 192 files are few and far between.

Are other Mdac users using a hub? Fellow Mdac users how do you think it compares to coaxial? (without hub).

If you are connected via the server then enable plugin.extension debugging on the server - what do you see anything in the server log when you try to browse the 3rd party apps on the player?

MDAC will work without a hub with the "workaround" set, but only for 44.1k (CD) and 48k sampling rates. 88 and 96k sampling won't work. MDAC only supports usb 1 so won't do 192k over usb.

My Arcam rDac doing fine.

Another dac (Asus Xonar Essence One highspeed usb-2 dac/headamp) gives some sound over usb, but the sound is distorted and very slow, what could be the solution?

Don't know - what does cat /proc/asound/<card>/stream0 show? Where <card> is your card

ssh-ed into touch, how do I get this info?

So what new high end DAC uses USB2? The Mdac is less than six months old

info (touch) shows: high speed : USB audio
