[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Double Vu screens
here running Squeezecenter Ver 7.02, Transporter f/w 37. last night's session was interesting in that i had /have separate Vu meters on both screens right and left..which is kinda funky!. i was using both system remote and Duet controller, pressing the brightness button multiple times seems to have brought this about. it can be cancelled to default using now playing. anyone else come across this one?. dennis -- dennis55 dennis55's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8884 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49332 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] ModWright Transporter experience: truth vs. beauty?
Frank, I came to this forum not long ago and enjoyed your writing very much. One question: have you tried to connect your modded TP to a power amplifier directly? Correct me if I am wrong: I don't have other source equipment, so I don't need a pre-amp with the TP, the TP's volume control is well built Vincent -- vincentyan vincentyan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17868 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43269 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Is there any risk that I will sacrifice any audio quality if I use Apple Lossless files as the source for my Squeezebox? Gerry Just to chime in with my two cents, I think it is a compromise. Not in the sense that I don't think lossless is lossless, but in the sense that it is not open source. I don't trust Apple and there are more layers involved in all process from ripping to playback. In a minimalist audiophile way, Apple Lossless seems to break the rules instead of follow them. If one were to use FLAC, then all the doors open and one can stream in multiple ways. One has ripped a master source file that can now we converted into just about any file one needs or desires. Hard drives are so big and cheap these days, what is the big deal about saving 4 or 5 MB of space per song. It is laughable. For use with Apple iTunes or hardware, I then convert FLAC to 320 MP3. I don't let iTunes anywhere near my FLAC masters. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Bedroom: SB3, NAD C370, Thiel 2.3 Home Office: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, VSM-1 Sigs Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34122 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Well doesn't that depend? I only use an iPhone because it is the closest thing to caring a laptop without carrying one. I believe it is still the only cellular phone that can display full real webpages (not the mobile ones). I know its the only phone I can use with my broker website/software. And that is the ONLY reason I have it (and it doesn't hurt that I am a retired ATT/Cingular employee with a large discount on service plans/equipment). As for Avatar, I wanted to use the FLAC logo but a guy that is on the Forum often was already using it and the Apple kind of goes with the user name that I picked out of the air because I had just received my iPhone. It was more a choice of convience then conviction! And isn't the shading wrong/backwards on the Avatar? And I know that you have been around the Forum long enough to have read my rambling on about how I hate how iTunes, QuickTime, and any other Apple product or software tries to take over everything like it knows better then the user. What I am saying is that this is not a waffle or flip-flop, this has been my stand from the start and my user name and Avatar are just an abstract dig at Apple. I have only bought one song from the iTunes store because I had to buy the song first so that I could make it my Ringtone even though I already owned the CD and had the song ripped (another reason to dislike iTunes and Apple). Somebody should write a program that will take any ripped song and make it an iPhone Ringtone and sell it for $15. And lastly, one has to at least give Apple and Jobs there just dues for not folding under the pressure of MicroSoft (can't stand MS either but again have to use them sometimes). My favorites have always been the underdog like Amiga, BE, and using Red Hat. And isn't funny that so many free or open source items do so well?

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Apple Lossless a compromise?
After going through a similar mental exercise I ended up keeping my library in AIFF. The down side of Apple Lossless is that you can't fast forward/rewind it, nor can you with any of the other transcoded formats. AIFF on the other hand is supported natively, so you can FFWD/REW (at least as well as FFWD/REW works at all on a Squeezebox, which in my experience is only so-so). I'd be happy if either Apple decided to support FLAC, or someone fixed Slimserver to allows FFWD/REW on transcoded formats (which would appear to be as simple as transcoding to a temp file instead of a pipe, but maybe there's some reason not to do that which isn't obvious to me). Until then, well, disk is cheap. -- jgs jgs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7538 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34122 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Apple Lossless a compromise?
How do you fast forward/rewind AIFF files in the Squeezebox 3? Isn't it very easy to convert Apple Lossless to AIFF, WAVE, or FLAC when you need? -- vincentyan vincentyan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17868 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34122 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
