[slim] Re: 24/96 support and Transporter

2006-07-25 Thread ajmitchell

I have to agree with FL here, if the high end DACs in the transporter
could be used for other components (via digital input) this would be a
killer app. for audiophiles I think. It would go a long way to justify
the ticket price...because you'd be getting an awesome music player and
awesome DAC as well. 

Just a thought/

Can you clarify Sean - if I have music ripped at 24/96 on my server, I
will be able to stream it to my Transporter but not to my SB3?

How will this work for multi-room setups?  It's not really an option to
put a Transporter in every location.

It should be straightforward to hook a transcode option into SlimServer
to downsample from 96 to 48 for SB2/3 devices.

They can, that's what the digital inputs are for :) And you don't need
a network connection for them to work.

Where did you find that in the docs?

Thanks,

I think we missed this in the specs, but yes, the DAC mode will work
without the server.

I didn't (at least I can't find it there now) - must have been a forum
post from Sean. I did read it from an official source though :)

 From what I've just read about the Transporter, it appears that it
 will support 24/96 playback. I am curious about the changes that are
 being made to the slimserver code to support that. Could those changes
 support 24/96 playback on the sb3?  How about 24/96 digital output
 from the sb3?
 
 
 Thanks!

This is a hardware/firmware thing, not SlimServer. It's not that it
can't be done on SB3, but it would be a separate engineering effort due
to different hardware in Transporter to facilitate higher sample rates.
