Re: [slim] New Logitech MM STREAM Squeezebox Touch spotted !!
Here's an interesting idea. Why not LICENSE the Squeezebox/Transporter technology to high-end manufacturers to integrate into their line of preamps (kinda like how Audyssey is being implemented in mid-fi receivers). It would be awesome to see Squeezebox/Transporter capability included with, for example, the Modwright line, Cary Audio, McIntosh, many others. I suspect it would be a LOT cheaper for those manufacturers to license the technology rather than develop a similar (competing) platform in-house. That would also guarantee Logitech a much broader marketshare, and long-term viability, for the Squeeze platform. My ideal Squeeze/Transporter product would be one truly designed as a high-end preamp, with easy switching to other sources, SET and balanced outputs, 24/192 capability, and home theater bypass. mherger;434253 Wrote: I am seriously thinking of upgrading from Transporter to Linn/Naim solutions.

Re: [slim] Does SlimDevices plan to exhibit at Rocky Mountain AudioFest
I just got back from RMAF, which I enjoyed immensely. Squeezeboxes and Transporters WERE used in quite a few demo rooms, as were the Sonos product(s) and various computers for streaming playback. There was a panel discussion (Fri and Sat) about music streaming/servers which featured reps from Sonos, Logitech, a local Denver high-end A/V installer, and a fourth vendor whom I can't recall. The Logitech guy was from their Harmony remote division (?), but represented the line well. I attended the Fri session, and they focused on the BASICS of streaming, covering the pros/cons of lossy vs. lossless codecs, music downloading, ripping, storage, etc. with some QA time afterwards. There were no demos given. Only NEW info I gleaned from the session was their mention of a free program called URL Sniffer which identifies the precise URL to use for Internet Radio. If anybody has a link for the latest version, please post! As mentioned, various demo rooms had Squeezeboxes or Transporters, in use. Modwright had their modded tube-rectified Transporter there (and the new USB Benchmark DAC) but unfortunately it wasn't being used at the time I stopped by. Regardless, it's clear that computer/streaming has truly achieved audiophile acceptance. I believe 'The Absolute Sound' plans an upcoming feature covering this emerging market. I hope Logitech, while likely pursuing more of the mainstream mid-fi market, continues to support RD for the high-end as well. -- sleepysurf squeezebox2 (with elpac linear psu) benchmark dac1 modwright swl 9.0se belles 350a reference ml summits. blue jeans cables. sleepysurf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Elpac power supply for the SB2
Well, after trying the Elpac linear PSU in place of the standard switching PSU, I can honestly say the improvement is minimal (using the SB2 analog out). However, I downloaded the latest Slimserver Beta, which incorporates pre-amp volume control to allow direct connection to an amp. After connecting the SB2 analog out DIRECTLY to my Sunfire Cinema Grand 200 amp (feeding Martin-Logan Aerius i's), I now have absolutely INCREDIBLE LUSH CRYSTALLINE sound like I've rarely heard before. I had no idea my Yamaha RX-V1000 (as Pre/Pro) had such a deleterious effect on the signal path. At least for me, the GREATEST upgrade path for improved audio from the SB2, was to simply bypass the pre-amp stage altogether! I'm sure some other mods might tweak the sound even more, but I'm thrilled with the improvement thus obtained. Now, I just need to figure out how I can still utilize my RX-V1000 for Home Theater DVD playback. -- sleepysurf aerius i, nht sub two, yamaha rx-v1000 (pre/pro), sunfire cinema grand 200 ~five (vertically bi-amped), squeezebox2 (streaming cd-quality audio), 300gb buffalo linkstation (remote flac audio file storage), blue jeans cables.

Compared the two PSU's extensively, the linear is (slightly) better in my system. Clearly, feeding directly to the amp is the biggest bang for the buck improvement I have attained thus far.

[slim] Internet Radio streams vastly louder
Anybody else notice that Internet Radio streams (whether via SlimServer or SqueezeNetwork), are significantly LOUDER than audio file playback? Internet Radio streams are about 15 dB louder than playback of my FLAC music files. I am currently using Digital S/PDIF out, with the fixed (max) volume setting. I do not use ReplayGain or anything like that with the FLAC playback. It's rather annoying to hafta adjust my Pre-amp volume when I switch sources. -- sleepysurf aerius i, nht sub two, yamaha rx-v1000 (pre/pro), sunfire cinema grand 200 ~five (vertically bi-amped), squeezebox2 (streaming cd-quality audio), 300gb buffalo linkstation (remote flac audio file storage), blue jeans cables.

[slim] Re: Internet Radio streams vastly louder
I've been listening primarily to Radioio feeds. Hadn't thought to check if other internet radio streams are just as loud. Turns out, many are, but some aren't. I guess it depends on the individual feeds.

[slim] Re: Tagging WAV files
As far as I know, .WAV files cannot be tagged. However .FLAC files ARE tagged, and LOSSLESS. SB2 works perfectly with .FLAC Best approach is to rip CD's to FLAC using EAC, for bit-perfect extraction. Also, if for any reason you need to edit tags after ripping the files, and if running Windows OS, I recommend a freeware program called AudioShell which lets you edit .FLAC tags by just right-clicking on the file! -- sleepysurf ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Building a house server?
If you are planning on a wireless B/G router (Linksys or other) consider using a Buffalo Linkstation network storage device as the media server. It can be located in a remote location (mine is in a bedroom closet, along with my Linksys Wireless Router/Network hub). It's a lot cheaper than buying an entire PC for that purpose. I bought a 300 GB one, and am ripping FLAC files to it. You'll still need a computer to run SlimServer... I use an old Compaq Evo N600 which sits in my home office. I can rip CD's while doing other work in my office.
