[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Bug in Transporter Firmware 84
I've been running 84 for a couple weeks now. No AC Failures yet. I went to run the system this morning. Everything seems fine, Transporter needles bouncing along but no sound. Rebooted Transporter and I got sound. This has never ever happened in the couple years I've had it. Anyone else have this issue? Should I report a bug?

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] DAC Resolution Test and Don't EVER use Digital Volume Control

In my opinion, the digital volume control is as transparent, if not more so, than my pre-amp volume control (a BAT 3ix tube pre-amp). Frankly, I find the statement that opened this thread to be absolute nonsense. I don't know where the don't use more than 10 dB of attenuation idea mentioned by some comes from, either. I assume the PIOOYA method. You don't say how you used it, but I can tell you that setting the Touch's digital volume to like 30-40 to get quiet music leads to something that sounds only slightly like the original, while leaving it at 100 and setting the analog volume controls on my preamps way down does nothing of the sort. So, frankly, I find your absolutist statement to be just as much nonsense as the statement you are objecting to. -- ncarver ncarver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15905 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77725 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Bug in Transporter Firmware 84
I don't think so . All IP3k cpu squeezeboxes eventually do this . Either a restart will fix it . Or it's time for a xilink reset, that fixes most weird audio issues on old squeezeboxes . -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Bug in Transporter Firmware 84
I did not notice anything like that. Sometimes Transporter freezes, but this happened also before..

So, frankly, I find your statement--with no qualifications--to be just as much nonsense as the statement you are objecting to. Sorry I didn't say anything about the range of use. Using the Neko DAC (which has a 1V output) as source and the 23 dB gain setting of the Bryston 3B-SST, a comfortable range for serious listening, mostly to classical music, is about 75 +/- 15 on the Touch volume, depending on the recording, while late evening listening might dip down to 45 or so. If the volume is too low at 100% for the rare recording, I can switch the Bryston to 29 dB gain. -- Daverz Daverz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77725 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

It was not frozen, if it did that I would be less concerned. But the needles (VU meters) and time etc. were moving along. It acted as if outputs were muted. -- mswlogo Transporter/DuetController SPDIF Meridian G68 DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 It's the speakers and room stupid.
