Re: [slim] 96/24 Support for SqueezeBox 3
I found that 7.3.1 was server-side resampling 24/96 FLAC to 320kps MP3. The 7.3.2 nightly (I got 24415) had re-written the convert.conf file to implement FLAC-FLAC resampling. Worked fine once I'd tracked down cygwin1.dll from the SoX distribution. -- amcluesent amcluesent's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55371 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'm rather sure it is. While testing i redirected stdout of the sox

was exactly 50% the size of the full version. (If i remember

agreed, just wanted to make clear it's something else than "320kbit/s"

Re: [slim] 96/24 Support for SqueezeBox 3
Thanks guys for your input. I'm using exclusively Flac and I modified the Convert.conf file (as opposed to creating a custom file) by pasting in Phil's modifications. I've also disabled Lame.exe so it's definately not in the equation. The only bit-rate limiting settings I'm aware of are under in the Player audio settings and this set to 'no limit'.

I tested a 24/88.2khz flac track on a SBR (Squeezebox Receiver) and the SBC (Squeezebox Controller) tells me under "More Info": Bitrate 2520 kbps VBR (Converted to 705kbps ABR). At the same time i can see a sox-process running using some CPU. (If you see a lame process running something's definitely wrong) You must not have bitrate limiting enabled under SC->Settings.

Dear MS - this is what I did, based on the advice in the thread.
Windows XP by the way:
1)find the latest SOX on the net and download (14.2 think)
look here:
http://sourceforge.net/export/rss2_projfiles.php?group_id=10706
make sure you download the Windows version from Nov 9 2008
2) put sox.exe and cygwin1.dll (from the download) into
squeezecenter\server\bin\mswin32-x86-multi-thread directory (rename old
sox.exe first!)
3) find custom-convert.conf - should be in the squeezecenter\server
directory
edit with NOTEPAD (this is important) and go to the bottom of the
file:
find the line:
# special case for smart bitrates on mp3 input
after that line, replace everythign with this:
#mp3 mp3 transcode *
# IFB:{BITRATE=-B %B}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}
# [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ -v $BITRATE$ $RESAMPLE$ --mp3input
$FILE$ -
flc flc transcode *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=rate %d}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -t wav - -t flac -
$RESAMPLE$
# This example transcodes MP3s to MP3s, if the target machine has the
# given MAC address. This rule will take precedence over the
# previous rule because it's more specific.
#mp3 mp3 squeezebox 00:02:dd:34:e9:62
# ./brute_filter $FILE$ -
stop SC and restart - should just work!

Re: [slim] 96/24 Support for SqueezeBox 3
Hi there, Since a few weeks I own the DUET combo and I love it! Regarding "high quality" music, I do not use the DAC's of the Receiver ; the receiver goes straight into my Onkyo AVR by optical cable. I do not seem to have issues playing 96/24 content (even multichannel DTS tracks) because the receiver only outputs a PCM-stream towards my Onkyo who deals with all the rest. However, I also downloaded these "test" FLAC files from the lindberg.no website and some of these a *very* high quality and I cannot play them. => What is the absolute maximum the Squeezecenter would be able to "stream" to my Duet receiver and why ? Limitation on the Duet receiver ? SqueezeCenter FLAC-binary limitation ? No DAC's are involved in my case, but I can understand that maybe the receiver just cannot PCM-stream to my receiver at that clockrate ??

Re: [slim] 96/24 Support for SqueezeBox 3
The files play back fine on my PC via Foobar downsampling to 24/48.
I used Foobar to convert them and they play fine via the SB3 at 24/48
too.
I must be doing something wrong.
I put the 14.2 SOX exe in place of the standard one and edited the
convert.conf file to show:
flc flc transcode *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=rate %d}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -t wav - -t flac -
$RESAMPLE$
but no joy.

I don't know why your DAC doesn't recognize the signal, but you don't need to set the bitrate limiting option (you may set the "LAME quality level"). Resampling will be triggered automatically if your input sampling rate is higher than 48khz AND the destination player is NOT a transporter, i.e for all other players.

OK, I was mistakenly thinking that this was being done with sox, but it's actually using lame to convert to mp3. However, that is way better than dropping every other sample, which causes massive aliasing - all the material above 22 KHz gets folded down into the audible band. Also, the CPU can't actually keep up with 96Khz flac decoding, so you would get audible dropouts too. I must sound like a broken record by now...
