Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Does the Transporter get over burdened with 24/96 files?
OK, thanks folks! Seems like an issue that was buried long ago.

As the other said, no issues. Never had a problem with FLAC -8. And these days run it with digital room correction off a basic AMD A10 APU server through BruteFIR DRC off a Linux virtual machine in Windows Server 2012. Measurements also look good with no evidence of excess noise at the higher sample rates either. Archimago's Musings: (archimago.blogspot.com) A 'more objective' audiophile blog.

I have a number of 24/96 albums and they cause zero issues with the Transporter. I think you are referring to an issue from several years ago that also related to the fact that the FLAC files were maximum compression (-8). This did cause some hickups. However, this was fixed long ago with a firmware update. And wasn't even a problem to begin with for those using FLAC files not at max compression (for example, my FLAC files are all "5" compression and I never had the issue.

I have been using a Transporter for close to ten years and I have plenty of 24/96 and 24/88.2 files which I regularly play using the Transporter. Since my Transporter is connected via Wi-Fi about the only issue I ever encounter when playing 24/88.2 or 24/96 files is the occasional sputtering and rebuffering caused by network issues. I have never heard any pops and clicks when playing 24/88.2 or 24/96 files.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Does the Transporter get over burdened with 24/96 files?
I don't own one, but I may get one in the near future. I was reading some older threads where some have stated that they hear clicks or pops with certain 24/96 files. I believe the 'fix' was to use compression level 5, although some also stated that turning down the display brightness helped, which I find odd. Anyway, I'm just curious if this is still the case with the latest firmware.
