[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Really wierd squeezebox problem
I have been running 2 squeezeboxes in my house for some time now with great results. Anyway, two days ago I added a new dac to one of them and have been having really wierd problems. First I thought my dac died, then the squeezebox, then I just thought one of the digital coaxial female connecters or cable was bad. Basically what happens is optical works fine, but when connected with the coaxial I get pops and static in both the sqeezebox itself and over the speakers. So finally I decided to swap squeezeboxes to see if the coaxial out was bad and the other worked seemed to work perfectly. I listened for about an hour with great sound then I walked into the other room plugged in the other squeezebox and immediately heard a distant horrible static again over the one playing. So, what would cause the optical and coaxial out to work perfectly, but as soon as a second squeezebox is plugged in the coxaxial to no longer work? Thanks and sorry for the long post. Also if it is of consequence, I am using both wired from a router. -- happy happy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8253 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29625 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Transporter reviews by owners please
Hi there, New to this forum and as a new owner of a SlimDevices product I can only say that for almos $2000 for the Transporter you would it to deliver and it does. I have mine hooked up to a Krell KAV-400xi by a pair of expensive balanced kables. The Krell is then pumping a pair of Von Schweikert VR-4jr by kabels with active shield. I really think that the DAC in the Transporter sounds really nice I know there is a whole bunch of nice DACs out there right. But you have to choose "one" and what ever the "one" is you will end up with a possibility to have choosen then "wrong" DAC and the story goes on. The reason to why I bought the Transporter is that I wanted it to be hooked up using the balanced option. And I wanted a for the future machine that can deliver streaming Audiophile quality sound for the future. There is no doubt that this type of sound streaming and or movie streaming is the future. Take Microsoft for example on November 22 2006 they will launch a new section to XBox Live for the XBox 360 and deliver HD compatible video and ondemand content. At this point Microsoft could be a competitor to major broadcasting networks all over the world by utilizing the Internet as network. Not revolutionary this has been known to happen in quite some time now but still think about it for a second. Its kinda huge everyone can now setup a video on demand site or why not a streaming music site. The only problem still to solve is the user rights issue and it will be solved its just a matter of time now. But what ever the box I would always be more comfortable with a special unit designed just for the music. The Transporter is that device. I have tried Pandora.com for a while using the Transporter and it works like a charm the only "problems" I have run into is when the Transporter interface doesnt react accordingly when network seem to be failing slightly. It stalls and the display isnt responding like most network products or software its a regular issue. And it can be fixed. But the sound of the machine is really really good. At least in my ears it sounds great. Soo the next thing now is to try to get my hands on some FLAC material that is sampled and saved from an SACD material. To really have the Transporter working. Will write back my comments on that when it happens.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: SB is killing the SACD format! ;)
Have to say that I was considering an SACD player before I got my SB, but I only have one SACD disc (War of the Worlds) and really can't justify a player and buying into SACD as a format considering that doing pure rips and playing Flac via a SB is such an excellent quality anyway (potentially better than most CD players). I'm really into Flac audio now. Also, with HD video players about there are new HD audio formats which are potentially better than SACD and DVD-A (though I've no idea how they do compare). If these are supported by HD players (HD-DVD and BluRay) and *if* (big if) HD players actually take off and one or the other wins the format war, then everyone will have a HD audio player. Plus I think I read somewhere that Sony admitted SACD never really took off (which is no surprise). -- deadkenny deadkenny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6722 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21542 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Total BS (Logitech) Sellout
It is a fact that sometimes company acquisitions occur to either remove the competition or to grab their customers. It's also a fact that companies sell to bigger buyers because simply the shareholders stand to make a nice profit (shareholders can include the employees, so it's not just greedy directors). That's often why they are in business anyway, e.g. to build up a company and either make a success of it or to sell it on. The latter may be the only way to grow sometimes. However I have respect for Logitech and would hope they are buying the technology, knowledge and experience to add to their line-up. Though audio isn't their main field it's clear they're trying to get more serious in the market. They already have music systems anyway, but the products SD brings are high end by comparison. Just hope they don't bundle their speakers with a Squeezebox though... they're not the best of quality. They can't be buying it for SlimServer though as they could have used it without even buying the company. Plus Logitech have their own server. If there is a Logitech version of the Squeezebox or Transporter it could be they will support Logitech's server instead (or hopefully as well as SlimServer). Have to say Logitech's software isn't too great, at least going by the mouse/keyboard software. Personally I'm not bothered whatever happens. I have a SqueezeBox and love it, and SlimServer is open source, free and likely will remain available whatever Logitech do. -- deadkenny deadkenny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6722 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29597 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

I mean, it's not like the Squeezebox hardware is so hard to figure out. If Logitech simply wanted a network music player, they'd have built one themselves (which, in fact, they did), or bought a company like Roku Labs which already has a customer base. -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29597 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Trasporter display configuration - done much?
Yup, I agree with all of this. And configuration for anything to do with the display should all be performed from one screen or section (and possibly sub-screens), including the screensavers. MusicInfo is definitely the place to start. I'd like to see a facility to stop any display segment from scrolling as well. There is a lot to get into one nice, intuitive and simple config screen though. :-) MC -- ModelCitizen Now what? Transporter > Naim NAP 250 > PMC OB1s.
