[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SqueezeCenter-7.0.1-17957
I have installed the trunk build of SC7. The version is SqueezeCenter-7.0.1-17957.exe. However, there is no prompt to upgrade to the FW40 for tranporter. Checking the Firmwire folder in SC7 folder, the firmwire for transporter is still only 36. Can anyone advise how to upgrade to FW40?

In fact there are 65536 discrete steps, because real-world waveforms are not perfectly symmetrical. However, in real-world recordings, generally the bottom few bits are filled with noise. -- Timothy Stockman Timothy Stockman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45107 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

I believe it's still distributed, but transporter.version is set to only use up to v36. If v40 is distributed with your build you can enable it by changing transporter.version: # Transporter firmware # # fromto # from1..from2 to 1..36 40 # future versions may be downgraded to this one * 40 R. ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Thanks a bunch for all of your answers. I realize I got the whole think backwards, or at least very wrong.

I have been using v40 since it was first released, also for the digital loop capability (which I presume is what you mean by "foldback"). It has always worked fine for me - no stability problems at all. There is an issue that the volume control doesn't work properly - there's a bug raised for that. One final point - you'll need to re-flash the xilink in order to go back to r36 or earlier.

Reference Recordings will soon be offering files at that sample rate. Currently they send the files as WAVs on a DVD-R disc, but they plan to offer FLAC downloads in the future: http://www.stereophile.com/news/010508ref/ Thank you for your excellent work on the FLAC format, BTW. -- Pale Blue Ego Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32951 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Help in understanding the loudness issue.
Compression when recording is not always a bad thing , if one has massive peaks and doesnt compress the music somewhat, everything else but the peaks will be way too soft. Digital clipping is another story , its very nasty sounding as the waveform is just "sheared" off , I would rather have compression than digital clipping anyday. These days , music to be played on boomboxes and radio is heavily compressed so the normal level is "loud" , the louder the music on radio , the more attention it gets. Boomboxes have limitations on amplification etc , so if normal levels would be soft, users would whack the volume up and the peaks would be heavily distorted and most likely blow drivers. -- Rodney_Gold Sb3/Z-sys RDP1/meridian DSP5500's TP/X-cans v3/Senns 650's TP/TACT 2.0/SCM 50a's TP/Meridian DSP5000's "The nicest thing about smacking your head against the wall is...the feeling you get when you stop" Rodney_Gold's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14618 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45107 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
