Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Doh! Now we need 24-bit/176.4kHz on the Transporter!
The Stone Roses eponymous debut is rather excellent music that was badly recorded. It sounds amazing on a large boomy PA, but over a revealing hi-fi it is barely listenable. -- DynamicalSystem DynamicalSystem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41824 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Headless music server
Built into XP is Remote Desktop Connection (Start-Programs-Accessories). You may need to configure XP to stop errors when running headless, but this should be easy (and free from where you are now). Alternatively you can buy a KVM switch and share your keyboard, video and mouse between the two computers. -- DynamicalSystem DynamicalSystem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35806 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Small room, small footprint
I'm currently talking to Hexateq about creating a 2 channel, flush-mount, auto-sensing D class amp that fits into the wall. The idea is that it hooks to a set of ceiling speakers and power at the back, with RCA on the front for connecting the SB3 up to. No power switch, no LEDs. At the moment it's bespoke, and therefore expensive. My view is that this could be a fairly serious product for them and volume could bring the price down. Is anyone else interested? -- DynamicalSystem DynamicalSystem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35706 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] D Class

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] D Class
I'm looking at new power amps, and I've been doing a bit of research. Does anyone have any eqperience of the 'Hexateq' (http://www.hexateq-av.com) amps? They are based on the 'Hypex' (http://www.hypex.nl) modules, and seem very customisable for a remarkably low price. Incidently, 'someone' (http://www.hexateq-av.com/comment3.html) has built a Squeezebox 3 into one of them using a Gainclone amp. -- DynamicalSystem DynamicalSystem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35347 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Active Speakers
Thanks for that. The Mackies are indeed nice. I use the Tannoy Reveal Actives in my home studio, and often regret not getting the Mackies. The issue, as you say, is WAF. Requirements for active speakers from my perspective are: High WAF Auto Off/On Great sound quality RCA input I'm not sure I understand the bug as it stands. By analog out, it means RCA, I'm guessing? Does this mean that all auto-sensing amps and speakers fail to sense with the SB? Does this happen even if the SB is in stand-by? If so, then the options are to go for something more esoteric (Meridians?) or ditch the auto-off requirement and get the JBLs or the Swans? -- DynamicalSystem DynamicalSystem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23115 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Ah yes - the infamous people only buy one monitor sales strategy! I guess it makes life easy for the 5.1 and 7.1 crowd. With regard to the auto-off bug, does this mean that only the Mackies are affected? How about other Actives?
