Looks like you found a bug in the Now Playing views selections. Oddly, it does honor your selections as long as you don't go back into that menu settings page. As soon as you enter back into the selections again then all items are re-selected. Anyone with an older player (SB1/2/3, Boom, Duet) would agree with you on not having the SBS settings control over the new players (Touch, Radio) as is available with the older players. Many have voiced our opinion over this omission in player settings and control via SBS UI, but the current answer is it's a different architecture and will not (cannot?) be incorporated. :( -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81919 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox Touch Question for Audiophiles
adamdea;575632 Wrote: Absolutely 1 As a matter of interest how easy is it to damp the resonances in a transformer? It seems from what you say to be something we should all consider doing if possible. Would this apply to a TVC? I use a large c core tvc as my pre amp and am very intrigued. 2 Forgive me if I am flogging a dead horse, but it seems to me that properly analysed your conclusions about power cables do not lend support to the practice of spending large amounts of cash on power cables unless you have had the opportunity to try out (and presumably burn in if you buy into that idea) and compare a large number of different cables in your particular system. I am not even sure whether the results on 2 different examples of the same model would be consistent or the same identical component combined with different components or even the identical components plugged into a different electrical circuit. There would be no reason to suppose that any given cable would produce better results even if it was very expensive and even if recommended by other people. It seems to me that this conclusion does not support the subjective results expressed on hi fi forums which have a tendancy to display a high degree of correlation between observed improvements and money spent. Damping the transformer takes a resistor and a capacitor in series, connected across the secondary of the transformer. Theoretically you should measure the transformer and compute the right value for that particular transformer. I did that for every transformer in my house and found that the values of 330 ohms and .022uf work well for almost all of them. The resistor should be a carbon comp and the cap a polypropelyne, I use orange drops. Thats it, its cheap and easy and can give wonderful results. Do NOT try this for signal carrying transformers. They have resonances too, but dealing with them in such a way as to not muck up the audio signal is not trivial. Most good audio designers will have already dealt with the resonances in an audio transformer, its just power transformers that seem to have been neglected. Yes, my own personal opinion from my testing and listening is that expense of a power cord has little correlation to any difference its going to make in sound. There IS another mechanism that concerns a power cord: RF resonances in the cord itself. That one is much harder to measure and is again somewhat dependent on whats around it. This is a case where different designs are better than others, but I have not been able to determine whats what yet. This is frequently confused by the transformer resonance issue: what gives best results with one, may not give best results on the other. So the best bet is to damp ALL the transformers, THEN you can try different power cords, they may still sound different, but now you are probably hearing differences in RF performance.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Unable to change 'Now playing'
The issue is that with the older players everything you see on the screen comes from the server. All the player settings etc are stored in the server, thus uts easy for the server to control things. With the new players its different. The players themselves keep their own settings and have their own local user interface for making changes. Most of these settings also control things that are in the local player and don't interact with the server at all. Having the server control these is not trivial. For one thing you have to write TWO sets of GUIs, one for the server and one for the local player (its a lot of work just writing one, doing two for everything is a LOT more work). Then there is is the issue of keeping the two in sync. The server will have to query the player, make a change, display it locally and send it back to the player. If the player is currently displaying a page where that parameter is either being displayed or used, it needs to update ITs GUI and behavior. What happens if someone is changing the parameter on the player and someone else is changing it via the server? You may think that will never happen, but you'd be surprised, people will figure out how to do it and get all upset that it just doesn't work right. Right now now there is no standardized method for dealing with these issues. Several aspects DO have to work with both the player and the server such as transport controls (play, stop, volume control etc). The code for dealing with these is a huge mess with messages going back and forth between the server and the player. It would be nice to have a framework in place for dealing with these issues, but it doesn't exist yet. Until there is some well defined easy to use method for dealing with both server and local control you are going to see very few items available for control via the server.

Yes. Settings-Audio Settings-Volume Adjustment-No Volume Adjustment Compare this with Track Gain, Album Gain and Smart Gain http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/AutomaticVolumeAdjustment -- Grahame Grahame's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81890 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

souwalker;576115 Wrote: Can this be disabled? There are two different things that have to happen for ReplayGain to be use with the Touch (or any Squeezebox). - The ReplayGain tags have to be read by the server and stored in the music library database. - The ReplayGain values have to be applied by the player. You can't disable or otherwise avoid #1. If the tags are present then they're read. But #2 can be disabled and *is disabled by default* for all Squeezeboxes. It's a player level setting, so it can be set differently for each player. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81890 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Settable from the touch itself. Available on both (local) tiny sbs, or remote sbs. -- Grahame Grahame's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81890 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

My FALC files are in my NAS and my NAS is running the SBS. So, it is a Touch SBS setting and it's already disabled by default? That's good to know so what I've been hearing over the weekend, although ReplayGain is there for some FLAC, I am hearing the files in the 'off' position. Good, I was happy with the sound level anyway. I'll just rip with no ReplyGain from tonight onwards.

I seldom use it myself, except occasionally for background listening, but I still take the time to apply the tags to all albums in my library. Doesn't hurt anything and I won't have to do it in the future if I decide to use it more often. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81890 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

So if the settings can be set from either the Touch or from the server, either way, they are both turned off by default? Is my understanding correct? Ok, I'll continue to rip with RG and since the settings is turned off by default on Touch or Server, I can use this tag in the future if required. As you said, I won't have to do it in the future.
