[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Transporter analog out questions
OK, Transporter sans pre-amp is working well. For the "listening room" (a.k.a. office) I've got the Transporter unbalanced analog outs going direct into a ATI AT1502 amp driving Magneplanar MG3.5's. For the rest of the house, I've got the Transporter balanced outs "unbalanced" (pin 1 to rca shield, pin 2 to rca tip) to another ATI AT1502 driving a Niles SVL-4 speaker selector / volume control feeding 3 pairs of speakers: Magnepanar MG-12QRs in the living room, Celestron book shelf speakers in the kitchen and some Celestron - like speakers in the bedroom. See the attached pics. So far, the sound is very clean. My favorite "quick impression" piece for listening is the last movement to the Shostakovich Sym. #6 in the Jarvi-Scottish National Orch recording. There is a fff passage with every brass player in the orchestra blowing his brains out and one lone guy in the back playing the tambourine. With the Transporter replacing the pre-amp, I think I can hear that tambourine so well that I think I could count the bangles on it. Compared to my SB3 feeding a benchmark DAC1 feeding a pair of AKG headphones, there's way more "there" there. This is totally subjective, of course. Ill have to live with this setup for a while before I decide to throw away the pre-amp. +---+ |Filename: P9270002.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1768| +---+ -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27946 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

The Big Ben had several advantages - sounded better, supported up to 192/24, and was insensitive to the input device. With the Lens, I could clearly hear differences in transports and cables - an "impossible" characteristic noted in the classic review at http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/824/ I did not do any critical listening with the SB3 and Lens. I had been using it with the Big Ben, and decided to see if the Lens I had in storage would work with the SB3. Since it didn't meet my needs (all my FLAC files are 48/16, upsampled from 44.1/16), I sold it. Using the Big Ben with the SB3 is a significant improvement over the straight SB3 digital out. It's possible that internal SB3 mods would produce the same result, but I already had the Big Ben. My only SB3 mod is a linear power supply. It was a nice improvement over the stock supply when using the SB3 digital outputs without the Big Ben. I haven't tried swapping the stock supply back in when using the Big Ben. -- krochat krochat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27359 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

I just sold a Digital Lens because it wouldn't work with the SB3 at 48kHz. Of the 4 relevant PCM resolutions supported by the SB3 (44.1/16, 44.1/24, 48/16, and 48/24), only 44.1/16 worked with my Digital Lens. Oddly enough, the Lens did work with a 48/16 stream from my DVD player. I was considering a Transporter and have settled instead on a SB3 plus an Apogee Big Ben feeding my TacT gear. Conceptually, this is at least as good as a Transporter, and there's no need to mod the SB3 at all. If you're considering a Lavry, it's also supposed to be insensitive to the input device, so you wouldn't need SB3 mods either in that case. So, the options as I see it are: 1) Transporter ($2000) 2) SB3 + Big Ben ($300 + $1200) = $1500 (no mods) 3) SB3 + Lavry ($300 + $850) = $1150 (no mods) If you need analog outs, it looks like the Lavry is the best bet. The big difference between these options is that the Transporter supports 96kHz media, the SB3 doesn't. Personally, I'm now waiting for a SB4 that does support 96kHz. I think I'll buy a Transporter remote to tide me over...

So I'd like to try to keep it. Would the Bolder digital mods, plus the upgraded Elpac p/s, plus say a Digital Lens put me in the same or better territory than a Transporter? Hmmm, let's see $$ how that adds up in comparison anyways: SB3 - 300 Bolder mods - 275 Elpac w/mods - 110 Lens - 450 Still a bit cheaper than a Trans, but not by a ton. Have never tried the Lavry, but if that coupled to a the SB3 both eliminates the jitter issue and sounds as good / better than the AN, it would seem an excellent alternative as well. So, which to choose? Trans, Bolder mods + Lens, or replace AN with a Lavry? Wouldn't it be cool to be able to do a shoot-out between the three systems? -- joncourage joncourage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27359 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter vs. Lavry et al for analog output
Same problem here. I want to add a SB to my main system, and get an external dac like the Lavry or maybe one of those Chines Dacs (Lite maybe?). But the Transporter looks sooo nice, but would it make sense to spend the extra money on that? And maybe somebody will build a dac with the AK4396?

highdudgeon;135939 Wrote: > you've done away with jitter and, in theory, all transports are the > same. Well, it is not quite that simple. Error handling in the transport plays a role, as does how the jitter is being done away with. If you rip your CDs with something like CD Paranoia you are getting the best error correction available - better than what a CD player is going to give you. There are a couple at least different ways of getting rid of jitter - one is to asyncronously resample and upsample the digital data. This eliminated jitter but maps the jitter into noise. This is what the Benchmark DAC1 does. The Lavry Black in Crystal mode buffers and reclocks with no upsampling - this is a superior method. So a Squeezebox combined with a Lavry Black is a very potent combination indeed. In my listening to the Lavry using headphones it seems to me that the SB/Lavry is exposing the limits of the recording and the headphones, period. The SB/Lavry is performing at a level much higher than the other components I am using.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: digital crossover & slimserver
Well, I'm actually thinking through about three different solutions. 1) Just buy the DEQX PDC2.6P Hard to justify the expense but it sounds like a great integrated solution. Would hook the Squeezebox up via SPDIF. I am concerned that this would introduce jitter though. I sent email to DEQX enquiring whether they might ever consider a direct PC connection (like ASIO). No reply yet. Hoping the price might come down as more competitors enter the market. 2) Squeezebox -> a different dedicated digital crossover The Behringer seems to be the obvious frontrunner here. There's also BSS Audio. All seem to suffer from a lack of volume control. Not keen on potentiometers - I use a switched resistor network for a passive attenuator at the moment. The digital crossovers also only implement IIR filters whereas I think the flexibility of FIR would be so much better. Clearly these solutions will also require a huge amount of manual fiddling to get the sound right. Will need some 3rd party acoustic analysis software I expect (eg Siasoft SmaartLive). But I think this is the cheaper and more effective approach. 3) Dump the Squeezebox. Go PC -> external DAC -> bi-amping The idea is to run a convolver on the PC to do all the crossover, DRC, phase and delay adjustments and then run it out to an external DAC (to avoid the PC power supply). Not sure the DAC I want even exists - ideally ASIO input and 6 or more balanced XLR's out + volume control. One brief thought was to keep slimserver, use the Inguz Audio plug-in's and modify softsqueeze to take multi-channel sound. Not likely. Other alternatives are the foobar_dsp_xover, DirectX convolver or porting BruteFIR. http://sourceforge.net/projects/xover http://sourceforge.net/projects/convolver Obviously a very flexible approach with endless tweaking. No, I wouldn't dare try to sync two squeezeboxes :-) But would be cool if Transporter v2 could do it all! 8-) -- ianwi ianwi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3567 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27916 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] UK Transporters
Does anyone know when the first shipments of Transporters are due to hit the UK?
