Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] There are certain benefits of working at Logitech
I think you need to go back up to Portland and ask for a pair of custom-ft UE10 Pros -- tell them you will pillow test them...

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] No Display when Off
Installed my new Transporter last night. When I powered it off the date and clock were on dimly. This morning it was off. When I pressed power button is said something about finding network. No time to fuss with it before work. My computer is off. Wireless hub on and receiving internet. Could someone shed some light OK or not. -- bryantdunivan bryantdunivan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33072 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69713 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

The ability to extract the two L/R front channels (or rear channels) from a DTS or 5.1 stream. Currently I need to down mix the stream in my DVD player, which is really not desirable. A better management of the digital inputs, with dedicated buttons on the front panel for a direct selection of the inputs. Or at least the ability to rename the current inputs name. The use of the TP as an external DAC is currently not so user friendly. I would also appreciate some basic room correction capabilities. I don't care about color display or touch interface or anything else... I just want the TP to play music perfectly like a high-end component and not as a computer.

Keymaster;470814 Wrote: 1- Why? 2- It would be an easy plugin to create, I would think (or would you want it as a post D/A option?) Hi Keymaster, I guess a plugin could be created for this functionality. In addition you could also have tag info per track to convey this info so that polarity can be controlled. The reason for this is that not all studios release their music with a polarity of zero. In many cases, some record labels, including audiophile labels release their material at a polarity of 180 degrees. And probably even more cases exist (especially with multi track recordings) where the polarity of all individual tracks is not maintained to be the same, either all tracks at zero polarity or all tracks at 180 degree polarity, and thus switching polarity may not show any improvement on these. This often happens in many cases because many external processors used in studios flip the polarity unknowingly and in the end you may not know where you are at after many levels of equalization, compression, reverb, etc... In addition, mic feeds and mic preamps could also be responsible for flipping polarity. Studio mics are typically use XLR connections and there are two standards for connections. Pin 1 is always ground, and typically pin 2 is positive and pin 3 is negative. However some studios flip pin 2 and 3 around, thus flipping polarity. As for a front panel switch, yes it could be avoided. I probably made that suggestion due to often seeing other audio components with a dedicated polarity switch. If a dedicated button or control is available on a remote that is easy to get to, then a dedicated switch on the Transporter may not be necessary. I don't know if the polarity inversion pre or post D/A would make a difference? I would guess that since all you are doing is inverting the waveform, it may not matter where in the chain it happens. It could happen downstream even in your preamp in the analog domain. Another thing that I would like to see is the format/bitdepth/frequency of the file being played on the front panel display. My mp3 player does this and it is very handy to know what you are listening to at a glance. For example FLAC/16bit/44.1kHz or mp3/192...

Currently I need to down mix the stream in my DVD player, which is really not desirable for watching movie. Sorry, I'm not clear on what you're trying to do If you're watching a movie, why is down mixing the stream in the DVD player a problem? If you want to simply listen to the DTS or DD stream, for example of a concert video, then why not rip it to your hard disk? -- DCtoDaylight Audiophile wish list: Zero Distortion, Infinite Signal to Noise Ratio, and a Bandwidth from DC to Daylight DCtoDaylight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69447 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
