That's the only solution I have come up with so far. Previously my SB3 would make a few attempts to connect to Slimserver and then give up and show a blank screen, but the Transporter doesn't and just keeps on trying to connect often days after it was last on! I hardly ever listen to Squeezenetwork and that is a long winded way of resolving this problem.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] How do I stop my Transporter from trying to connect to Slimserver when PC is off?
Title says it all really My SB3 does not do this but whenever my PC off my Transporter (from standby) keeps showing an error message unable to connect to Slimserver every few minutes and it is annoying because it sits below our TV! I have looked for a setting within Slimserver and player settings to change the TP's behaviour when the PC is off but can't find anything. Hopefully there is something I can do to change this behaviour and any advice/pointers would be very much appreciated.. -- Warren Warren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30299 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Tried that! It's already in standby and when I power down my PC the error messages start to appear and pressing the power button has no effect. The only way I can stop this from happening is to log on to squeezenetwork before powering down my PC and then the Transporter remains in standby until I hit the power button again. -- Warren Warren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30299 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

I ordered my Transporter from Progressive because they were offering a free Squeezebox with pre-orders although I have noticed that some of the UK resellers have not mirrored this offer.

Well the person I spoke to at Progressive stated that they had not received any Transporters yet. It would therefore appear that SD are shipping those orders placed direct ahead of those via overseas distributors, which is frustrating because if I had of placed my order with SD direct my Transporter would have been delivered by now. -- Warren Warren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27948 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Thanks for making such a meaningful contribution to the thread and responding to my first post! I carried out blind listening of both and must admit I was amazed at how much better my old CD player was, (comparing CD to FLAC) but having read back through the posts on this site I see that the sound of a SB3 is comparable to a budget CD player so it's no surprise really. I guess it explains why so many squeezebox owners have modified their units and have seen dramatic improvements in sound quality, hence the introduction of the Transporter. However I suspect benh's SB3 could well sound better than the Arcam 10 because the function of the DAVE module was to provide surround sound. -- Warren Warren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27403 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: SB3 DAC vs Arcam Alpha 10 DAC
I have a similar set up to you Arcam Alpha 10 integrated amp plus Arcam P25 power amp which are bi-amped and drive Monitor Audio Studio 20se speakers. I do not have the DAVE module fitted but I guess you must do if the amp comtains a dac. I am not sure which dac the DAVE module had, but when comparing my SB3 with my 8 years old Arcam Alpha 9 CD player (dcs ring dac) there really is no contest and the elderly CD player is significantly superior! The plan is to relegate the SB3 to the kitchen and I've placed a pre-order for a Transporter - hope it lives up to the hype! -- Warren Warren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27403 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
