Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Tittle Format no Track Number

2012-11-30 Thread 808htfan

Ooooh, OK then...  Sorry, but I don't know how to do that (change the
Now Playing info).
I just wanted things showing a certain way while browsing through stuff
on the Touch, those settings do that for me.

 Has anybody tried the EDO with the NAD M51 DAC?  No prob with the Ayre

On EDO compatibility list it's said that it works with SPDIF but it does
not with USB...

OK, thanks for trying! Yea if I go to Album then scroll right I can see
track Numbers, just not when a song is playing!

As I say, not essential, just bugging me! :-)

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Tracks wont progress

 Yeh playing tracks from music folders works fine, but I thought before,
 when i selected the first track from the 'New Music' menu on the touch
 it would progress to the next track whatever folder it was in, maybe I
 imagined it though.

You weren't imagining it - the older ones did. The new Media Server
doesn't play individual tracks sequentially unless they are in a folder.
It will stop after one song, and if you hit advance, it just starts
playing the same track again.
I discovered that after I updated the server on my Touch. A simple
solution is to place all the files (and folders) into a new folder.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox touch downsampling ?

2012-11-30 Thread ruimoutinho

Hi,

I'm new in the forum and with a new squeezebox touch (only 2 days of the
new magic toy ;)).
But... The first disappointment. I think!

When I go to the characteristics of my flac files, i note that the
bitrate are downsampling to 705 kbs. It is possible change that?

Thank you

Do we know if it works with other linux players?  Can you use it as a
dac connected to a recent linux desktop?

 I suggest keeping the list simple and focused on objective factors.
 
 It should concentrated on
 - whether the USB input of the dac is compatible with EDO
 - what, if any, special procedure is required for compatibility
 - Is a USB2 hub required, and if so, from which sampling rate
 - up to what frequency is the USB input working
 - what quircks exist, if any
 
 One could arguably add some statements about whether users prefered the
 USB to the SPDIF input (this includes a degree of subjectivity)
 
 The google doc spreadsheet meets most of the above points

Thanks for organising this - I've added a link the the spreadsheet to
the first post in this thread.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox touch downsampling ?

2012-11-30 Thread JohnB

A 44.1/16 wave file has a bit rate of 1,411kbps. FLAC, of course,
losslessly compresses that, usually reducing the file size to 40-60% of
the original. So the bit rate you are quoting is par for the course and
there is nothing at all to worry about. (The actual FLAC bitrate will
vary throughout the file.)

Search the forum. The 705 is an artificial number reported by Lms. The
touch does full 24/96 flac files with no down sampling or compression.

 Take this opportunity to ask for an opinion: is there a difference in
 connecting the touch to my amp (marantz SR6300) with optical or
 coaxial?
 Thank you for everything

It probably depends on your equipment, including cables. Why not try
both and keep the one that sounds the best to you?

Happy listening!

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox touch downsampling ?

2012-11-30 Thread Mnyb

Yeas the reported number for downsampling is a bug it 24/192 is
downsampled to 24/96 by SoX and this is totally transparent you can't
hear that .
Bug howso ? Apparently they never wrote any software routine to fetch
the actual avarage rate done by transcoding so they use a place holder
with the typical rate of 16/44.1 FLAC .
IMO this placeholder could be just transcoded and we would not have
this question every 14 days for the last 8 years :)
Michael, Andy ?

If you are interested there are old treads about how to set up the logs
so that you can fetch the choosen transcoders and parameters for the
stream

Coax or optical ,depends on the equipment ,try both , I'm partial to
coax if it works good ,optical have galvanic isolation if that is needed
it's going to be the prefered solution . Noise and ground loops can be
bigger problem than the digital interface but if you don't have such
issues coax is good.

For very good coax cable look at
http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/digital-audio/index.htm

Don't be fooled by audio quest or Kimber or any other silly brand , you
can get cables that cost 100 times more that actually performs worse .
