Another Happy Audiophile : Logitech Squeezebox Touch
After my 10 year old Arcam CD player died I looked at what options I had to replace it. I have over 1000 CD's and was in the process of re-importing them into my iTunes library as Apple Lossless, and so it seemed like a good time to explore options for directly playing my iTunes library in some way. I had read glowing reviews of the Squeezebox Touch but at a $300 price point, and coming from a maker of mass market webcams and keyboards, I hadn't taken it seriously.
A good friend of mine, and audiophile, convinced me to check out the Touch, so I did. The more I read about it, the more it seemed to be the perfect replacement for my CD player. It wasn't available on Amazon at the time so I bought it directly from Logitech's web site.
Overall, the Touch is simply incredible. The sound quality of wirelessly streaming my Apple Lossless iTunes library to it, connected to a Bryston amp and preamp and B&W speakers, is outstanding. It's a huge leap in quality over what I heard from my Arcam CD player, let alone from using an Apple Airport Express. And I haven't experienced any of the dropouts I always got from the Airport Express.
It did take me a while to get the Touch on my network. I have an older Apple Airport Extreme I was using in Bridge mode from my DSL modem/router. I had to change my setup so the Airport Extreme performed DHCP, and also had to change the radio mode from "802.11n/802.11b/g compatible" to "802.11g only". So after the two hours or so to discover these setting were required to get the Touch on my wireless network everyone else was really intuitive.
There's a large and growing ecosystem behind the Touch in terms of applets, plug-ins, and tweaks. I've been experimenting with having my MacBook Pro (running SqueezeBox Server) do the dynamic conversion of Apple Lossless to PCM instead of the default transcoding to FLAC, and a bunch of other tweaks you can find by Googling around. Most surprising was the ability to turn remote access on and see the Touch as a server in my Finder window, and the ability to SSH into the Touch and play around with its custom built Linux operating system.
Many people mention how surprised they are about how much they like playing Internet radio once they have the Touch. I'm definitely part of that group. I've played around with Pandora, Last.FM, and SomaFM in the past, but using the applets to access these services on the Touch is really simple and fun. Note that if you've paid for a premium Pandora account with a higher bit-rate streaming you'll get the default 128Kbps on the Touch for now, but apparently Pandora is working on fixing that. That said, many of the 128Kbps audio streams from Pandora and other Internet sources sound surprisingly good on the Touch and my Bryston/B&W setup.
While I will generally stream music from my iTunes library (on an external disk drive connected to my MacBook Pro via Firewire 800), I still want the ability to play some subset of my music library without my computer being turned on. NAS devices are still pretty expensive and seem to have performance issues for running the Squeezebox Server software. But you can play parts of your music collection locally on the Touch from either a USB flash/disk drive or SD card. I had a spare 2GB SD card and it worked great, as did experimenting with 4GB ad 8GB USB flash drives. I'll be picking up a 32GB SDHC card (the max size the Touch supports), to be able to play roughly 100 of my albums in either FLAC or Apple Lossless format locally, since I want to reserve the USB port for what I describe below.
While everyone comments that the built-in DAC is of very high quality, and you can get great sound out of the analog outputs (which is my current setup), the next step is to acquire an HRT Music Streamer II + High Resolution USB D/A Converter. They go for about $350, $300 for out of box. You can hook up this small form factor, dedicated DAC to the USB port of the Touch after a small number of tweaks. Now, for about $600 you have an audio streaming setup to your stereo system that would have cost many thousands of dollars a short time ago.
One usability bug I just discovered today, is that when you do the setup of the server software and click "Use iTunes" (like I do), there's no need to fill in the text boxes for the location of the music folder or playlists. The Touch software will find them. Instead, you can put the location of a non-iTunes folder in the textfield, such as where you store your 24/96 FLAC files from HDtracks.com or the B&W Society of Sound web sites.
