Has anyone given this combo a try? i know how good the Squeezebox with my Beresford Caiman II sounds but whilst it has all the detail of my Naim CDI (although I am selling the CDI), it still falls short on the overall sound quality department, especially when it come to warmth and overall control of the bass. Unfortunately this has been shown up by my new speakers more so than their predecessors. Not looking for Naim slammers to join in on the conversation, really looking for advice... Other options are that I see a number of you use batteries and other external power supplies with the Squeezebox and Caiman's... Whilst I do work in IT, I don't quite get the technical aspects of these fan-dangled thingies Paul.

The Squeezebox Touch responds very well to an external 5V power supply. The other thing you should do is install TT3 and EDO tools into it. Sound quality improves dramatically. There are lots of forums talking through how to do it all, but it's very worth it and will only cost you time.

Yes I've installed EDO which sure did make a lot of difference but I've not heard of TT3 so will give it a look, cheers Martin
