Just to test functionality of the plugin you could try some REALLY extreme changes.

It can take 30 seconds or so before the effect kicks in.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch: Upsampling with sox?
Hello, this is my first post, so please be kind.
In order to upsample Wav files to 48000 Hz PCM, the following file was
patched:
/Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Player/Squeezebox.pm
This is on a Mac, but I assume finding this file on Windows should not
be too difficult.
The patch consists of adding two lines of code:
- one line to increase the bit depth from 16 to 24 bit
- the second to change/force the output rate to 48000 Hz
Here is the changed code:
sub stream_s {
# snip
if ($format eq 'pcm') { # unfortunately required for .wav files
# snip
if ( $track ) {
$pcmsamplesize = $client-pcm_sample_sizes($track);
$pcmsamplerate = $client-pcm_sample_rates($track);
$pcmchannels = $track-channels() || '2';
}
# Add two lines of code
$pcmsamplesize = 2; # 1;1-16 bits, 2-24 bits, patch
$pcmsamplerate = 4; # 3;3-44100, 4-48000 10-88200,
9-96000,
patch
# Upsample patch completed
The entry in the convert.conf file is:
wav pcm * *
# F
[sox_14_2] -q --buffer 32768 -t wav -r44100 -2 -c2 $FILE$ -t raw -C0
-3 -c2 -r48000 - polyphase -cutoff 1.0
Do add the line # F, for else no filename is passed to Sox, so nothing
can be upsampled.
Note:
Sox Version 14.2 is used to upsample, as this has the polyphase
option.
To use this, copy the version 14.2 Sox.exe file to:
/Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/Bin/darwin/
To distinguish this file from the distributed Sox.exe, the file is
renamed to sox_14_2.
I hope this does not look too complicated, and that it is of interest
for some people.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] New Squeezebox Touch Mod
Hi guys, I try to edit rcS file, according to member dynaudiorules. After I done the procedure, touch hangs and stuck in Logitech logo. Before this, Touch was costumized with soundcheck's recommendations. This is what I have done: # Start wlan #/etc/init.d/wlan start -after this I disable Samba # Start Samba #if [ -x /etc/init.d/samba ]; then #/etc/init.d/samba start #fi -copy this lines to the end of file #Change priorities Add these five lines at the bottom chrt -f -p 93 11 chrt -f -p 91 5 chrt -f -p 59 367 chrt -f -p 87 407 - save it - CTRL-T and reboot. From this momment on, the Touch won't boot up.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch: Upsampling with sox?
I understand your comment. The reason to upsample to 48kHz is that for me, the Meridian 568.1 better upsamples 48kHz material than 44.1kHz material. The 568.1 and the digital speakers (DSP33) are 96kHz/24 bit capable. I have not done any serious listening to upsample straight to 96kHz in Sox.

I don´t know anything about the upsampling in the Meridian but if 44.1 upsampled withg sox to 48kHz and upsampled to 96 in the Meridian in 2 steps is better as the Meridian does in 1 step there must be something pretty wrong. Can you give me a link that shows the problems the Meridian has?

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch: Upsampling with sox?
The music from the digital radio sounds 'warmer' than the cd's played back from the budget cd-player connected to the Meridian 568.1. Also, for 48 kHz material, the HS Out setting on the 568.1 makes an audible difference. For 44.1 kHz material I am unable to hear such a difference. This is my main reason to want to go to 48 kHz. I do not have a link, this is my personal opinion. -- kef2m kef2m's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48799 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80903 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

kef2m;647841 Wrote: I do not have a link, this is my personal opinion. Ok then. I just looked up the DSP33 from Meridian. Seems like they have a Delta-Sigma DAC build in. Did you try to feed them directly? One thing about these DSP33 is that it seems the aluminium tweeter can´t reprroduce much if anything above 20kHz. So i wonder how this plays a role also. -- Wombat Transporter (modded) - RG142 - Avantgarde Acoustic based 500VA monoblocks - Sommer SPK240 - self-made speakers Wombat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80903 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

So instead of increasing +2.4dB@150 Hz, decrease everything else to -2.4dB? Well done. http://inguzaudio.com/usage/ discusses using EQ. As far as increase/decrease everything, do you have to match the level with another source ? If not, then leave it as an increase and check the log file after a day of playing and adjust if necessary. -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.
