Touch is a player, and not a server.

There is server software and server hardware.

Sb server (now called logitech media server) is a very solid server software choice on pcs for audiophile types that can acclimate to getting top notch sound without breaking the bank. It's good on other hardware platforms as well I hear.
May not be the best in quality, tho it sounds good to me. I have yet too really compare it one on one with the cd original. Great ease of use and very cost effective. Using your bluetooth capable computer or ipod touch, ipad with itunes etc, sending signal to the Xantech BT6 wireless bluetooth dock connected to RCA line input to your stereo system.
If your funds would allow the Olive units look interesting.
Glen , I did try the Olive HD4 , it was about what I was looking for but the CD drawer pilled up on the second day . I quickly returned it , but had to get Visa involved to get some of my money back .
There's this now from Wyred4sound: http://www.wyred4sound.com/webapps/p/74030/117839/620191

I have no idea what it sounds like but if their past products are any indication of their sound, then this might be a winner. I'm going to wait and see. There's a bit of a dust up over the sound of FLAC vs. WAV and this converts all ripped CDs to FLAC. It will all depend on the implementation. I can't wait to read the reviews.
Disappointing to hear of your experience with the OLive product, a few bugs yet in there system perhaps. Your quest continues. Please post your final choice.
