Re: [slim] 24 bit 88.2KHz FLACS and SB Classic
* The "24bit" Is probably 80% of the increased SQ . * Future use, I can only play 48khz -now- my Touch is on order 96k is not far away, have been building a library for the last 5 months for this. Mostly rips of my own DVDA's * Linn is and some other brands have recordings that are recorded and mastered in Hirez format, why pay for a watered down version at all. If I pay I want an copy off the master or as close as they allow me, for the future uses. * I have no idea what kind of equipment i would own in the future. But the stuff I own today do use 24/96 and does some processing internally room correction and subwoofer filter and 5.1 modes center ch eq. My guess is that future hifi will use even more processing. So then using a higher rez file makes a lot of sense if my hifi is going to do EQ and other stuff. Of course buyers beware, there is to many re-fried 16b 44.1 marketed as "Hi-rez" . But buying the 24/96 or 24/88.2 from the few that makes them for real is OK for me If the music suits me. -- Mnyb Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) Miscellaneous use: Radio (battery pack to be ordered) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76063 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] 24 bit 88.2KHz FLACS and SB Classic
Yes it will transcode with the help of flac and sox . Seeing that you are on a x86 and have 7.4.1 it should just work, right off. You should get the 2ch FLAC files 5.1 won't do with lossles on a squeezebox They have test files, just try them. http://www.linnrecords.com/linn-downloads-testfiles.aspx This is the 24/88.2 flac file http://download.linnrecords.com/test/flac/recit24bit.aspx And a 24/192 one http://download.linnrecords.com/test/flac/test192.aspx -- Mnyb Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) Miscellaneous use: Radio (battery pack to be ordered) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76063 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] 24 bit 88.2KHz FLACS and SB Classic
I've been looking at Linn Records' site and thought it might be nice to try their 24/88.2 "Studio master" FLACs. I have a Classic and Squeezebox Server 7.4.1. I know the Classic will play 24/48 files. Will Squeezebox Server downsample the 24/88.2 to 24/48, and do I need any additional software to do it?
