Re: [slim] Android Controller App
2.9 MByte? For just a controller? That just is ridiculous! I'll stick with Squeeze Commander, much smaller and it just works. -- Griffin Griffin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86487 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] AVRO Internet Radio Down?

AVRO by origin -is- a terrestrial radio station :D. It is one of the oldest Dutch radio stations and it still provides TV and radio as part of the Dutch public service broadcasting organization. Note: you can't compare the Dutch public system with anything in the world I think. We have three public TV- and eight or so public radio stations (and a number of commercial stations, but that's besides the point). These public stations provide programs delivered by individual organizations like the AVRO. Check 'wikipedia' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nederlandse_Publieke_Omroep) for everything you ever wanted to know on the issue and than some. -- Griffin Griffin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86105 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] AVRO Internet Radio Down?
AVRO does seem to have problems. AVRO easy listening was out the better part of last week, but it seemed they repaired things friday late since it worked on saturday after I contacted them. They seemed not to be aware of any problems. But sunday morning, all AVRO stations where down. Not good, time for another e-mail I'm afraid... -- Griffin Griffin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86105 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I think it's pretty clear the differences are anything but earth-shaking. From my experience, the difference is not there for 99% of the music and in that 1% where it is audible, the difference is so small it's easily missed. Think of it as the need for a car having 10 gears. In most situations it really doesn't make a difference from a standard car having just 5 gears but in some limited very specific cases it may be the possibility of having an extra gear in between the normal 4 and 5 may bring a very small advantage to the table. -- Griffin Griffin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85879 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I can tell you the difference can be heard in some very specific cases. But it is so subtle that, when just listening en enjoying the music, the difference can be considered void. For example, listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Tim Pan Alley". At one point he sings "I heard a pistol shoot - yeah, it was a .44". You can here the different in the instrumental crescendo there if you listen very carefully. The 24/96 has a bit more bite there than it's downsampled 16/44 variant as converted for a SB receiver. But you'ld have to listen very, very carefully to be able to spot the difference. When just enjoying the music instead of searching for these things, thus for all practical purposes, the differences are nil. NB: hardware I checked this on consists of a SB touch & SB duet receiver + XTZ Class A 100 D3 amplifier + Elac FS-247 SE speakers, using digital inputs of the receiver. YMMV. -- Griffin Griffin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85879 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
