Apart from Trackstat  Spicefly Sugarcube I don't run any 3rd party

album is in FLAC-files, which play correctly using Windows Mediaplayer,
foobar  Mediamonkey. I've since experienced this with 24/96 files too.
I've set Flac back to native in the SBS configuration (see attachment
for screenshot), so the Touch should be doing the hard work now if I
understand correctly what was in  Soundchecks explanations. I do see
however that on my server there's a FLAC process running.

 Hi guys.
 As you can see I transform 44.1 into 88.2, which is IMO preferable over
 44.1 to 96 on the Touch. 
Just a small question. I've got some albums that I've bought as 88.2,
but my Touch (latest FW with your Toolbox2.0 + DynaudioRules's mods)
reports unsupported sample rate.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch: Upsampling with sox?

2011-08-09 Thread JohnSwenson

What format is the file? Are you running an external SBS or are you
plugging in a USB drive to the Touch? Dou you get that message from the
Touch or from the server?

The Touch can definately play 88.2 files, and nothing in either
Soundcheck's nor Dynaudiorules mods changes anything related to sample
rate. 

I'm having a hard time figuring out how you would get that message. The
file might be corrupt and give the wrong sample rate, but that should
get caught by the server and converted to a supported sample rate (IF
running an external SBS). The only other possibility I can think of is
if you have SOX setup to change the sample rate to something the Touch
doesn't support.

I would check the server log and the Touch log to see if there are any
errors reported when trying to play this file. 

The server log is listed in the server web interface somewhere under
the advanced setup menu. 

On the Touch you need to SSH into the Touch (use PuTTY on windows) and

cd /var/log
less messages

When done type q then exit to get out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch: Upsampling with sox?

2011-08-07 Thread kef2m

Hello, this is my first post, so please be kind.

In order to upsample Wav files to 48000 Hz PCM, the following file was
patched:
/Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Player/Squeezebox.pm
This is on a Mac, but I assume finding this file on Windows should not
be too difficult.

The patch consists of adding two lines of code:
- one line to increase the bit depth from 16 to 24 bit
- the second to change/force the output rate to 48000 Hz

Here is the changed code:

sub stream_s {
# snip
if ($format eq 'pcm') { # unfortunately required for .wav files
# snip
if ( $track ) {
$pcmsamplesize = $client-pcm_sample_sizes($track);
$pcmsamplerate = $client-pcm_sample_rates($track);
$pcmchannels   = $track-channels() || '2';
}

# Add two lines of code
$pcmsamplesize   = 2;   # 1;1-16 bits, 2-24 bits, patch
$pcmsamplerate   = 4;   # 3;3-44100, 4-48000 10-88200, 
9-96000,
patch
# Upsample patch completed


The entry in the convert.conf file is:
wav pcm * *
# F
[sox_14_2] -q --buffer 32768  -t wav -r44100 -2 -c2 $FILE$ -t raw -C0
-3 -c2 -r48000 - polyphase -cutoff 1.0

Do add the line # F, for else no filename is passed to Sox, so nothing
can be upsampled.

Note:
Sox Version 14.2 is used to upsample, as this has the polyphase
option.
To use this, copy the version 14.2 Sox.exe file to:
/Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/Bin/darwin/
To distinguish this file from the distributed Sox.exe, the file is
renamed to sox_14_2.

I hope this does not look too complicated, and that it is of interest
for some people.

I understand your comment.
The reason to upsample to 48kHz is that for me, the Meridian 568.1
better upsamples 48kHz material than 44.1kHz material. The 568.1 and
the digital speakers (DSP33) are 96kHz/24 bit capable. I have not done
any serious listening to upsample straight to 96kHz in Sox.
Just my opinion.

I don´t know anything about the upsampling in the Meridian but if 44.1
upsampled withg sox to 48kHz and upsampled to 96 in the Meridian in 2
steps is better as the Meridian does in 1 step there must be something
pretty wrong.

Can you give me a link that shows the problems the Meridian has? I am

2011-08-07 Thread kef2m

The music from the digital radio sounds 'warmer' than the cd's played
back from the budget cd-player connected to the Meridian 568.1. Also,
for 48 kHz material, the HS Out setting on the 568.1 makes an audible
difference. For 44.1 kHz material I am unable to hear such a
difference. This is my main reason to want to go to 48 kHz.
I do not have a link, this is my personal opinion.

Ok then.

I just looked up the DSP33 from Meridian. Seems like they have a
Delta-Sigma DAC build in. Did you try to feed them directly?
One thing about these DSP33 is that it seems the aluminium tweeter
can´t reprroduce much if anything above 20kHz. So i wonder how this
plays a role also.

I ran myself sox in command line but without 'rate' effect and without

Actually, if we do upsampling and still sending headless raw, how the
SC will detect proper rate, sample size, byte order?

headers?? 

As you can see the flc pcm conversion rule outputs a 
raw stream without a problem.


Code:

flc pcm * *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dc --totally-silent --force-raw-format --endian=little 
--sign=signed $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ 




Based on above, I tried that one:


Code:

flc pcm * *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dc --totally-silent --force-raw-format --endian=little 
--sign=signed $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -D -v0.8 -t raw -e 
signed-integer -b16 -c2 -r44100 - -t raw  -e signed-integer -b24 -c2 - rate -v 
-s -M -a 88200



It is giving me static noise and my reveiver reports SR 44.1. Very
strange.

I tried your upsampling options, and I find the bass not synchronized

Did you try other options?

What I use now is


Code:


  # FLAC output starts here 
  
  flc flc * *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=-r %d}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -v0.95 --buffer 32768 -q -t 
wav - -t flac -C0 -3 -c2 -r96000 - polyphase -cutoff 1.0
  
  flc flc transcode *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=-r %d}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -v0.95 --buffer 32768 -q -t 
wav - -t flac -C0 -3 -c2 -r96000 - polyphase -cutoff 1.0
  



but polyphase is from older SoX releases, today it is just replaced by
'rate' effect

Hi guys.

For now I gave up on doing SRC on wav and pcm. 
I also tried flac pcm + SRC.  
Non of them I managed to get working so far.

Meanwhile I have converted my entire collection to flac.

This led to below working solution:

This is an adaptation from here:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=471468postcount=24

/etc/squeezeboxserver/custom-convert.conf

Code:


  flc flc * *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dc --totally-silent $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -D -q -t 
wav - -t flac -C0 -b24 - rate -v -s -M -a 88200
  
  flc flc transcode *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dc --totally-silent $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -D -q -t 
wav - -t flac -C0 -b24 - rate -v -s -M -a 88200
  




As you can see I transform 44.1 into 88.2, which is preferable over
44.1/96 and I also changed some of the SRC options.



There is no need to do volume control here since we go from 16 to
24bits.

Dither is also turned off.


Check it out!


Would be nice if separate passthrough rules for 88.2 an 96 material
could be configured. Does anybody have any ideas how to do that?


Enjoy.

Lookup the man pages for sox 14.3.0. The effects, such as rate are
last.

Quote man pages:

Examples:

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch: Upsampling with sox?

2010-08-04 Thread bpa

I misunderstood I thought your were using Touch to resample.

To use a SBS server - then look at this thread.

To debug use WebUI Setting/Advanced/Loggin and set player.source to
DEBUG and the click apply.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch: Upsampling with sox?

2010-08-04 Thread earwaxer9

I have been experimenting with dbpoweramp converting CD's to 24/96. As I
have discussed in other posts, I really like the sound of the upsampled
16/44.8 to 24/96 through the Transporter! I mean, I'm really happy! I
can even tell the difference in sound from other rooms in the house. It
comes close to that live sound. Especially in the bass. 

Count me as a believer!

Why upsample? What do you expect to gain?

For the ak4420 DAC (the one for the analog output in the touch) the
THD+N for 44.1 or96 or 192khz is -92dB,so it cannot perfectly represent
the 44.1khz 16bit signal to begin with..

I just want to give it a try. I'll see what happens, if I manage to get
it going. ;)

This *should* work.  I think you had an extra hyphen in there, and
you're missing some sox resampling options goodness ;)

[sox] -q -V0 -D -t wav $FILE$ -t raw -b 24 -c 2 -e signed-integer -L
rate -v -s -I 88.2k

Hmmh.

Usually the hyphen defines stdout as output. You don't have an output
defined!?!?

Are you sure your line works?
