Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Pop/click in transporter playback with recent firmware
Soulkeeper;659808 Wrote: Agreed. This is the rational approach, from a troubleshooting perspective. As far as it is possible, remove non-mandatory components, one by one, until the problem goes away. Then you can reasonably infer that the last component you removed, is involved in creating the problem. This should be the first course of action, and with luck, the only one necessary. If it sounds like I'm simplifying things, well, that's rule number one of troubleshooting. :) This assumes he has a digital connection capability on his preamp. If not, you're changing two things at once...taking the outboard DAC out of the loop and switching to the TP's DAC. -- ghostrider ghostrider's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18959 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90557 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Except that we know there is no possible clock drift issue with the TP's internal DAC, and a free-running clock in an external DAC drifting out of sync matches the described symptoms very well. -- cliveb Transporter - ATC SCM100A cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90557 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Best option for an outdoor music system
I agree on the suggestion to use passive speakers. Normally I would also agree with the suggestion of an amp indoors along with a Duet Receiver or SB Touch, and I'd add a weatherproofed in-line volume control, for those times you need to drop the volume quickly and can't find the remote fast enough. But since you've thrown an iPod in as the music source I'm not sure what to say, esp in the Audiophile forum. Maybe an iPod dock and an amp that can be hauled in and out whenever tunes are needed? For outdoor passive speakers I have been happy with Polk Atrium 45. They are only about $100/pair, so with your budget and the amount of space you need to cover I would look higher in the Polk lineup. And be sure that your speaker cable is rated for outdoor use -- ordinary speaker cable isn't. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90459 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
