I will second the motion for a trigger and 12V works for me :-)

As far as the wireless you can add more Access points on a different
Channel (try to pick a channel 3 numbers off the first)connect the
server and access points into a ethernet switch and you can run more
wireless devices.

I love my Transporter and consider it one of the best components in my
system. Having all of my music at the tip of my fingers (via Iphone
ipeng)has been the single most useful thing I have ever done with the
system. So simple even the spouse can do it... err I mean a cavewomen
*snicker* (for those in Europe this is a spin off a well known
commerical)

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter to pre- or poweramp

Question: To what is your Transporter connected

- Preamp
- Poweramp


Pulled the pre-amp out and max volume is fine through the P1's.

I will be testing some ATC SCM50A's in the near future but I am not
sure it is worth the cost to upgrade. Currenty the configuration is
outstanding in accuracy to the point that recordings I use to listen to
sound a bit dirty compared to better recordings. (just plain bad
engineering in the studio).


My impression so far is that the TP is everything I had hoped for and
more. 24/96 recordings through the TP are a great improvement over my
single disc transport at 16/44. 

The next item to address is getting the 12v trigger to work for the
amps. I am looking at just taking the fast way out and going with the
Niles MSU250. This would let me use the IR off the TP to the Niles and
then connect to the 12V trigger. 


Does anyone have a preference for controlling the TP?  I use my iphone
when at home but my spouse wants to be able to see all the music and
make playlist etc without having to go to the server.  I was thinking of
using RDP from a small laptop (with SSD drive and no fan) in the
listening room.

I have not looked at softsqueeze so I am open to ideas for an easy user
interface with full function and a readable size.


Thanks

Question: To what is your Transporter connected

- Preamp
- Poweramp


Just trying to get this right...

My Arcam P1's both have balanced xlr connections so can I connect the
TP directly to the P1's with my balanced XLR cables without an external
attenuators?

Power amplifier input
Nominal sensitivity
906mV (Arcam gain)
Input impedance
22k#937;
Gain
31.5dB (Arcam gain)

Next question: are the IR connections just 12V trigger for the amps?
My Spouse would love to see less hardware in the main listening room
and I can start by getting rid of the Pre-amp... crossing my fingers
that she loves it and then I will spring the new ATC actives on her to
replace the 2 Mono-blocks and the current ATC passives :-)
