Re: [slim] (Vaguely) Audiophile alternative to Transporter and SB+?

2021-03-30 Thread drmatt


Personally I stockpiled SBTs on ebay so have a never ending supply of
touchscreen bit-perfect digital sources to feed to whatever DAC takes my
fancy. :) 
Right now it's a Mytek DSD192 (also scalped used from Ebay for a
sensible price). Prior to that it was a Naim Supernait built-in DAC.

I would agree that earlier Naim gear had a very different sound from
most "hifi". I heard it described once as the "big mono" sound, it
really drives the bass and produces a lively immediate sound, without
emphasising the "detail" that actually -is- in there, you just have to
stop dancing long enough to listen for it. Later Naim gear is moving
more mainstream sounding in fact (which is why they're now winning
awards..).

On the "bit perfect" story above. Weirdly I discovered that the SBT
won't output 66khz sampled audio. Crashes every time. No idea where that
track came from, but there you are; I have to resample it to play it.
Other than that I have no reason to believe that any digital source is
any better than this. Even a Chromecast Audio - which has a dreadful
analogue output, makes a perfectly fine digital source.

I would definitely look to stay ahead of your storage requirements by
buying fewer larger drives. You can get four 8tb without having to ride
the bleeding edge of price or performance and have two copies and room
to spare; then you're looking at a simple 4 bay pc like the hp
microserver or similar.

With a suitable Linux distro you can run two stripe pairs with a hourly
rsync for replication. Add encryption and you're covered.

Re: [slim] CDs rapid Demise

2018-07-10 Thread drmatt


I think they rarely go full scale DC for any number of samples on any
recordings,  they are pushing it too hot but it's compression not
"distortion" as such, (though we choose to call it such because we are
pedants..) so wouldn't see that level of distortion.

Extreme compression is pretty horrible and results in a deeply
unpleasant sound however.

I am depressed to say that there's a secondary problem. Due to loudness
wars so many CDs are so badly mastered that they probably benefit from
the softening and flattering bass of an LP playback system.

I'm starting to think the game is lost, home playback of high quality
music is dead, unless you're prepared to pick over geeky audiophile
forums where sad ex BBC engineers moan all day...

Believe it or not you will find it hard to match the flexibility of the
SBT in terms of supported formats and bitrates even now, ten years or so
after the end of production.

The only significant advances in the last few years (because anything
digital is more or less essentially perfect already, and so much better
than vinyl or tape it's not even amusing) is class D amplification
(which will mainly improve efficiency rather than performance), and
room/response correction. Sadly the latter is still a hobbyist thing
outside of home cinema systems.

All it really requires is a fairly skilled DSP programmer to come up
with a vinyl simulator and we're done. Probably just needs a random low
frequency rumble adding, boost and blur the bass temporally, roll off
the treble and compress the dynamics to about 60db dynamic range and you
are *sorted*. Everyone will like it, but hifi it will never be... :)

As a long time devotee of LMS I say stick with the SBT there's nothing
wrong with it, particularly as a digital source. Modify the sound to

Re: [slim] What are your long-term SqueezeBox solutions?

2018-04-04 Thread drmatt

I don't think so. Straightforward though I agree it is the sheer
overwhelming quantity of stuff on every screen is what puts people off
these things. Even if you don't have to change anything at all,
presenting that many choices scares the living bejeezus out of anyone
who isn't techie.

Just to add your music folders is a mission without an awareness of
where *not* to click and let's face it even to get there you have to be
in the small minority of people who actually want to run a home server.
Most don't.

LMS is awesome, but in a world of dumbed down material design it
presents approximately 1000 times as many choices as a novice needs to
play their music.

I've not noticed any either tbh, but I leave it off because then I have
to blame the mastering engineers not replaygain for the sound being not
to my satisfaction, and like the OP, I'm ok with operating my volume
control about once every 45 minutes... :)

Re: [slim] Replaygain vs EBU R128

2018-04-03 Thread drmatt

I don't see the downside.. for non critical listening replaygain in
album mode is perfectly good, and when you feel like properly listening
to something, turn replaygain off. Bingo the music data is the same and
sounds the same as it did before the file was tagged.

The one and only pain in the ass wrt post-processing files is that the
"new music" menu option is based on the file time stamp.. so you mess up
all the time stamps and you now don't have a clear record of when that
music was "new".

Re: [slim] What are your long-term SqueezeBox solutions?

2018-03-29 Thread drmatt

I've had no problems getting acceptance of the squeezebox setup. A few
reasons. 

1) all the CDs went in a box in the loft... and I sold all the CD
players!  ;)
2) universal remotes make switching the audio on easy in each room (even
for the TV to ensure the TV speakers don't get used)
3) we don't have any Bluetooth speakers
4) found a simple SB control app (Squeezer) and it's a no brainer

I will admit I'd not consider giving my parents a SB setup, however, no
matter how much I think it's a great system..

I also found the squeezebox build on Joggler wasn't so stable for long
term playback. My touch will stream iPlayer live radio for days and days
without hiccup, but the touch would regularly fail and require a power
cycle (same if it was streaming local media tbh). Maybe that's just
mine, don't know. Gave up with it. Raspberry Pi is the future for all
things, imho. LMS need not die.

Re: [slim] Windows 10 updates stop me listening to my music, help!

2018-03-14 Thread drmatt

One option: https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home

This is an OS image that can run LMS and a squeezebox client on a
raspberry pi, including managing the storage (external USB drive). There
are other such images. This gives you server and client in one tiny low
powered box.

Or you can buy a pi and add the OS and install LMS yourself.

It's a no brainer if you don't want to run another full size server.

As for me.. well I run "another full size server"...

Re: [slim] IMPORTANT: Stop forwarding your LMS ports to the internet!

2018-02-28 Thread drmatt

Personally I would kill the idea of streaming flac to mobile devices and
just bandwidth limit the client in LMS. 320kb MP3 is undoubtedly good
enough when out and about. I would guess the limitation is insufficient
pre buffering, whereas internet video players would be more aware of the
requirements for this.

Flac is as you say about 900kbit, maybe just over 1mbit so shouldn't
really be a big issue. Note that HD video can be streamed in about
1.8mbit and still be bearable. Probably less, but still more than a flac
stream.

Depends on the player. If the new player honour the gain tag then great,
but it was not a core feature.

Annoyingly android core media playback services do not honour replaygain
tags either, so I do wind up also permanently normalising my files used

Re: [slim] Say it ain't so, Joe...no more CDs?

2018-02-15 Thread drmatt

I've found most ICE systems have awful unresponsive UIs when it comes to
browsing large numbers of files on USB sticks, tbh. And there's no
search, obviously. And their format support is awful. I have everything
ripped to flac for home use and a mirrored archive of ogg vorbis files
for use outside the home. Despite ogg being a FREE codec most in car
players won't actually play them. Even if you get the right format there
are sometimes annoying revision or bitrate limits.

Why Ogg not mp3? Well apart from the better sound quality per bit the
main reason is Replaygain support.

Ok, figured it might be something like that. Not an easy problem to
solve. In this circumstance it would be better to receive a page back
that says *why* the request was blocked and where to look to allow it
rather than a 403. Anonymise the hell out of the response of course so
people can't reasonably guess it's an LMS instance.

Clearly, computers should be licensed only to those who can pass a

produce...)

Interested to see how the code can distinguish an external request from

Re: [slim] Transporter heat

2017-11-28 Thread drmatt

Ok so maybe it doesn't use a Linux kernel, but it runs some software on
a CPU in the same way (except it's called firmware because you have to
flash it to a ROM chip!). The Touch and Radio both use a Linux kernel,
of that I'm sure.

Principle is the same - they use a few Watts and this translates to heat
while everything is ticking over.

Tbh they mostly sound very similar. The cheaper ones used to have pretty

Re: [slim] Logitech should resurrect squeezebox

In broad sweeping terms only.. a lot of time has passed. I've no doubt
the hub has a huge amount more power and features compared to the
duet/receiver.

So Sox is refusing to convert it? What's the CPU you are asking to do

Easiest is to tell LMS to resample for you on the fly. Very unusual DAC
that can't do 48k these days though, even a Chromecast can do anything
up to 24b/96k..

Sonos also made the executive decision to cripple their digital outputs,
for reasons no one can fathom; nor do they seem interested in sorting it
out.

Re: [slim] Logitech should resurrect squeezebox

Those are "new, old stock" transporters. There is no manufacturing for a
decade or so.

LMS was always too hard for people, Sonos fixed that and appeals to the
Apple buying industrial design generation to boot, despite being broadly
mediocre for various reasons. Logitech had a ground breaking product..
but couldn't get the complexity out of it fast enough to make it
palletable. And truth is the gear was *expensive*. Well over consumer CD
player expensive. Early, geek adopters only.

The word "better" is absolute and needs to be based on a measurable

If the NAS has a gigabit port it should autodetect crossover. But the
Receiver won't it's only 100Mb.

Re: [slim] Logitech should resurrect squeezebox

2017-08-08 Thread drmatt

Actually I suspect you'll find a lot of people on the forum are quite
happy with the status quo. The Pi/DAC/open source LMS solution is very
compelling. Any reignite of Logitech official Interest could well see
them grabbing that back in-house. At the very least it would likely be
based around the UE platform, not LMS.

I would, however, love to see a tidy updated Squeezebox Touch type
device with Bluetooth apt-x, airplay, a software Chromecast endpoint and
a nicer touch display would be awesome as a converged streaming device.
I just don't think that's what we'd get if we asked for it.
