Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] RC (Inguz etc.)

2011-01-03 Thread Phil Leigh

I don't know about Vista or Win7, but I have Inguz working under XP with
7.6.

The only thing that doesn't work is the version of the settings page
accessed via the Settings - Plugins web UI page - but that isn't
required for anything anyway.

I've modified index.html to fix the save button for saving presets
and modified plugin.pm to support the generation of a convert.conf file
that supports FLAC and (crucially) FLAC transcoding (+MP3) ONLY as I
don't use any other file formats.

The filetypes setting no longer shows inguz as I am going
FLAC-SOX-INGUZ-FLAC so it shows flaac/sox (twice in my case - once per
player).

This should give you enough of a starting point.

just install inguz manually, then replace the three files (in their
respective folders) with the modded ones. Then restart sbs.
Silverlight 4.x MUST be installed as a Browser add-on by the way.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Better resampling for SB Classic and Touch (probably all)

2011-01-03 Thread adamskogman

Hi!

Me and my dad have tried this little config hack. It works on Ubuntu+SB
Classic and Windows+SB Touch.

When playing 24/96 on a SB3 or 24/192 on the Touch, the server will
resample the data to fit the target player. That is done using the SOX
tool (an open source sound tool packaged with Squeezebox Server). It
turns out you can tweak the config for that, so that it uses a more
hi-rez resampling algorithm.

Background reading about the SOX tool and resampling (apparently it's
good) can be found on the SOX site (Google SOX, I cannot post a link).

Now do this. Create a custom-convert.conf file in the same directory
as your convert.conf file.
On Linux: /etc/squeezeboxserver/custom-convert.conf

Put the text between the lines in the file:
--DON'T CUT THIS LINE 

flc flc transcode *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=rate -v -s 
%d}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t flac
-C 0 - $RESAMPLE$

--DON'T CUT THIS LINE 

For all you config lovers, the key was to use the rate effect in SOX
rather than the -r switch for the output. If you want to change the
settings (maybe use the minimal phase filter), please do so in the
D:{RESAMPLE=rate -v -s  %d} part.

In my example, I use VERY high quality (-v) with a linear filter
(default) and a steep (-s) lowpass filter leaving 99% of the
bandwidth.

SB Server will fill in the %d with either 44100 (if sampling down from
88.2kHz) or 48000 (from 192 or 96). For the Touch, this will only kick
in above 96 kHz. 

Enjoy!
/Adam Skogman

Yes :) I also asked for the bug nr earlier in the tread nobody
replied...
But post keeps comming in this tread...

So it was not directed at anyone particular , but just an observation
that the many sufferers if this bug should do something together to
make something happen.

And yes they broke the product, says something unprintable about the
testing around these products ? Also makes you seriously wonder what
else don't work as supposed (or is subly broken at a low level like the
mp3 decoder is).
Does Logitech themselves test that the product performs to spec and
that outputs are bitperfect after each software mod ?

Migth be more comfortable to record the digital output with audio diff

and compare to the original. Or use other kinds of measurements too.

I've been working with support on ticket 101225-001163 and have provided
some files to test with.  I've tried to upload them to the site Andy
recommended, but have not been successful.  I've attached links to the
files on the Logitech Support Site.  One is an excerpt from the Koln
Concert and the other is a portion of Looking for a Home from Blue
Coast Records.  Both exhibit the popping and are at the lowest
compression level (0).  These were created with dBpoweramp Music
Converter.

Andy, hopefully you have access to these.  If not, I will try the
anonymous FTP from a different internet connection this evening.

Looks like the racks have points to shift vibs down to ground, have you
got the rack base points nicely grounded?

Maybe if you still have too much sibilance, try some cork, balsa, oak,
