[slim] Transporter Effects loop input
Does the Effects loop work when the digital inputs are in use? Say I use the SP/DIF in and out for the effect loop, and connect my DVD player at the Coax input. Will the Coax input be routed through the Effect loop? My goal is to connect a digital equalizer in the effect loop, that should work with the digital inputs as well. -- StigErik StigErik's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16340 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78506 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Transporter: effect loop and wordclock sync
I have an external device (RME Fireface UC) that I've put in the effect loop of the transporter using the Toslink connectors. This works fine, except that the Transporter dont seem to accept clock sync at the wordclock input when the effects loop is enabled. Is this supposed to work at all? The effect loop works fine if clocked from the input signal, or with internal clock. Wordclock synk also works when the effects loop is disabled. I'm running SC 7.3.3. -- StigErik StigErik's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16340 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69079 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Transporter: effect loop and wordclock sync
My intention was to use the Fireface as clock source. I dont see any problems using the TP as clock source, other than I did buy a wordclock cable Using a discrete wordclock wouldnt work either, since the TP seems to ignore the WC input when the effects loop is enabled. -- StigErik StigErik's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16340 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69079 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Transporter - why is there no digital output when using the digital inputs?
When connecting a digital source to any of the digital inputs on the Transporter, there is output at the analog outputs, but not at the digital output. Is there any good reason for this?

Re: [slim] Now do the same with the Transporter!
(I have a modified Transporter (I removed the handles...) - totally bling-free!) Lets assume that the selling price of the Transporter is 10x its sheer component cost. Thats not far from a reality I would guess. Then the two displays and the Transnav probably acounts for 75% of the total component cost. So - removing the Transnav (do anyone really use it? I dont) and the displays should make it possible to sell the Transporter for 500$, but thats not going to happen. That being said - the 2000$ Transporter is NOT expensive, not by any means. Just look at what the so-called competetion from hifi-brans can offer, at 10x the price of the Tranporter! -- StigErik StigErik's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16340 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52983 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If you look at hifi products for a combination of source/transport and DAC that can do the same as the Transporter and cost 2000$, you wont find it.

Re: [slim] Dont Buy!!!!! (merged to remove cross-posting)
I think wifi in general is a bit of a nightmare. At work we had big problems with wifi IP phones (Cisco 7920). Even if the phones just require a mere 100 kbps bandwidth we got choppy audio and lost connections. To make it work at a reasonable level we ended up with no more than 16 AP's, and that's in a 300 sq meter 3 storey building, running on three different channels to avoid overlap between AP's. We also had situations where we had no signal just 2 meters from an AP. At home, all my Sqeezeboxen are wired.

Re: [slim] Controller vs. Remote
aubuti;313697 Wrote: Maybe I *don't* understand, or maybe things have changed since the last time I used iTunes, but as I recall iTunes doesn't let you browse your music folder, strictly speaking. It lets you browse your library as organized by genres, artists, and albums, or the list of tracks on the bottom part of the screen. Of course, you get album art on the Controller if you browse by genres, artists, or albums. Various people have been working on hacks to get album art to display when browsing by Music Folder on the web ui -- search the forums if you're interested. So there's probably others interested in it for the Controller. The big hurdle is that by design, BMF doesn't use the MySQL database -- it just reads directly from the file system, which is why you do get album art when you drill down to the album folder (assuming you have cover.jpg or folder.jpg in there). But getting BMF to accommodate all the different ways that people can store album art is a nontrivial task. Album art *DO* show when browsing the music folder in the web interface, as long as a album.jpg (or similar) file exists in the folder. See screenshot. My only wish is that the same would work using the Controller +---+ |Filename: MusicFolderArt.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5314| +---+ -- StigErik StigErik's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16340 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49053 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The output impedance is set to 100 ohm with output series resistor, but thats not really the problem here. The output impedance could be close to zero if we wanted, but that would not make it possible to drive a loudspeaker directly.
