Kevin, There is no sound card on Alix. I just run mpd on Alix. I use the USB port to connect Alix to DAC. I have built a linear power supply (designed by John Svenson on AA) for Alix. I tried the Touch for about a week. I also applied Sondcheck's mods #1-3 on SB Touch. I was running the SB server on my Desktop PC running Windows XP. Yes, I used the same DAC for both. I used the optical connection to connect SB Touch to the DAC. Kudret

Peter, It's nice to see another linux user. I've been using an Alix PC connected to Havana DAC. This is a tiny PC that costs about $100. I am running a version of linux called VoyageMPD on it. All my CDs (about 500) are ripped in FLAC and residing on a Synology NAS. I use iPod/iPad with an excellent app called MPoD as a remote control. I also tried SB Touch to compare but I like the sound I get from Alix better. Kudret

I was looking for a pair. Only if I knew...

They don't look too bad to me

Kevin, I have an Alix PC running Voyage MPD linux connected to my Havana DAC. It requires some knowledge of Linux to setup. I'm using an excellend app called MPoD on iPod/iPad as remote control. Kudret

Here is an excellent guide for properly Ripping to FLAC with EAC. Here is the download site and lots of information abou FLAC. So far I have 182 CDs with 2120 songs. Kudret

You do realize that this thread is over 8 years old. Ah, those were the good old days with Kelly, Parrot, ... Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Incidentally I just bought a HF-81. I had forgotton how nice it sounds. Kudret

soundcheck's blog now has all the necessary information for upgrading your Touch: http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2011/01/soundchecks-squeezebox-touch-toolbox-20.html Please post your impressions if you implement any of the mods. Kudret

There are a nuber of mods to improve the Touch. Keep an eye out on this blog. It still costs $300 in Canada. How much is it it the US? If it's more reasonable I might just get one. Kudret

Based on some posts on AA Squeeze box touch also responds well to mods. I was planning to get one to try it out, but I am really happy with my Alix PC running Voyage MPD linux connected to my Havana DAC. Kudret

I have a 103R that I might send in for a try. Do they have email? I have a few questions for them. Shipping to/from Canada, how to make the payment, etc. Kudret

Thanks so much. I'm glad here is a new map. Kudret

I found a tuner that I've been looking for a while. The seller is in Alameda, CA and I need help to close this transaction. Is there anyone living close-by who would do me this favor? There used to be frappr map for Klipschforum members. What happened to it? Kudret

Hi everyone, I was away for 2 1/2 months and just got back. I've been listening to my Jubs nonstop []. I had also purchased an Acoustic Research LS5 preamp right before leaving ad didn't have a chance to hook it up yet. Oh boy, did I miss listening to music. Jeff, YGM. Kudret

Hey, JC. I spent a lot of time building and finishing them. I think I am better of sticking with my day job to make money []. Unfortunately, I don't have any drawings/plans for making them. They will have to be reverse engineered. If anybody wants to give it a try, I can provide the basic measurements. Kudret
