[slim] Sample rate limitations on SB3 and earlier
Hi I realize that there is a limitation with SB3 ( and earlier ) whereby 96 / 24 is down sampled by the server. Now my question is this :- I am using the digital out and assume that technically the stream can be passed thru untouched and retain its sample rate / bit depth etc ? If so, how can I configure the server to ignore any such down sampling prior to passing it on ? I have a large amount of my music store at either 96 / 24 and its fine through my touch but I want to use my SB3 into my second system ( Meridian AC200 + DSP3200 ) without any quality degradation Thanks in advance westiebj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3145 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99319 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] 25% off at Logitech store (Europe)
I did manage to get the code but unfortunately the prices shown on the UK website are so high in the first place they are still more expensive after discount than most other retail sites eg :- Transporter :- Logitech UK Regular price= 1799 GBP Logitech UK Price after discount = 1349 GBP Average price in UK = 1250 GBP (Can be found for less) Boom :- Logitech UK Regular price= 249 GBP Logitech UK Price after discount = 186 GBP Average price in UK = 179 GBP (Again can be found for less) So no savings for UK -- westiebj westiebj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3145 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72516 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Crazy pricing of Transporter in UK
As you may all be aware the poor old GBP has taken a beating lately, in particular against the US Dollar. Down from around 2 Dollars to the pound to 1.45 So the pricing in UK doesnt seem quite so bad by comparison at the moment, but there is still some odd pricing going on. As I understand it the "official" UK price seems to be around £1272 The Slimdevices US price = $1,999.99 which is aprox £1,453.63 ( + tax and duties ) so no bargains there Now a quick search on the web throws up the following :- Superfi website :- http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/moreinfo.cfm/Product_ID/3229 £1,076.55 Logitech official website :- http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/wireless_music_systems/&cl=gb,en £1499.00 Amazon website :- http://www.amazon.co.uk/LOGITECH-Transporter-Network-Music-Player/dp/B0017QN3ZU/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_2 £1,726.01 Think I know which one tempts me ... -- westiebj westiebj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3145 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61206 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Incorrect time displayed in standby (SC 7.3)
I've noticed since upgrading to 7.3 that the displayed time on my SB3 and Boom in standby seems to be incorrect as follows. After waking up the server the displayed time on SB3 and Boom starts correctly. However it then does not update unless I come out of standby on either box, at which time it corrects itself and is fine until the next time my server sleeps / wakes up. I have to do this for each box Any suggestions ?

Re: [slim] 20% of all Logitech products (may be UK only)
When I read this I was hoping it was Logitech coming to their senses and allowing Europe to buy the slim products at comparable prices to the USA, but it seems it was a glitch ? If you try to add the Transporter to the shopping basket you can only choose colour, not buy.

[slim] SB3 thinks it's an SB2 ?
Hi Sorry if this has been covered before but has anyone seen the above ? I have just received an SB3 wireless for Xmas ( already have a wireless SB1 graphic ) and when the player is powered on it comes up with the SB2 splash screen. It did a firmware update immediately but still the same. Apart from that it seems fine. In fact I have to say compared to SB1 it really looks/feels like a quality product and I am well impressed. I'm using the digital TOSlink out and believe (?) it sounds better too.
