My TurboS should be arriving in a couple of days. I'm going a bit stir crazy getting ready for its arrival. I am curious if anyone has tried a 256GB or 512GB USB storage device (Thumb Drive) as a music storage device in the console?
I found the following tech data in the "Good to Know" app, but it only specifies a max "SD Card" size of 128GB. Since the PCM doesn't seem to have a dedicated SDCard slot, I'm not sure why this would be any different, than the max USB device size. BUT, It should be noted that it also identifies a SIM card size which is inaccessible to the end user - so maybe they are just using an SDCard internally for storage? Anyone, try a Thumb Drive larger than 128MB?
I just finished completely re-ripping my CD collection to Hi-Res audio (FLAC). With the Burmeister in my car, I want to feed it something of much higher audio quality than the lossy MP3's I had previously ripped (60GB). Most Smart Phones (inc the iPhone) are simply incapable of delivering Hi-Res Audio without an external DAC (and there is no facility in the car to hook up the analog audio output of an external DAC). Bluetooth is similarly cursed as it also incorporates lossy compression for audio transmission.
Anyway, I'm expecting the best way to get the most out of the Burmeister is to feed Hi-Res audio files (FLAC) directly to its internal DAC from a USB port. The 500+ albums in my ripped CD collection take up about 160GB of storage and I'ld rather not have to trim that back to 128GB if its not necessary.
