Phil Leigh;542889 Wrote: And it works - as you have seen! What level of FLAC compression are these flacs? - if at -8, reflac them to -5 or less... Hi Phil, You did read my post didn't you ;)? It works if I impact the streaming to all of my devices. My flac are all at -5 and I have many of them so I don't really want to re-encode them if HQ here are working on a more robust fix/solution. If a non-teckie user (like my Dad who is at the limit of web use and playback via SB) buys some 96/24 flac online and has to then re-encode them to get them to play is hardly a desirable solution is it ? SBT should play 96k flac at any level of compression.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/96 Perfromance Issue ( Solution!)
John S I, like many others above, are actually wired with the issue not wireless. I resolve with streaming PCM. So, wouldn't it suggest a decoding /cpu issue? Whilst streaming pcm to the wired Touch is OK, it does mean that I have to stream pcm to the other SB's in my house which then takes up more bandwidth. That's not often an issue but it does mean that a proper technical solution for this issue would be better to have. 96/24 playback was the defining feature of the Touch for me so I do hope it is given some attention at HQ. -- ncpl ncpl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77080 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/96 Perfromance Issue ( Solution!)
Soundman Out of interest, can you try a few 96/24 tracks saved as .wav instead of .flac? If it presents no stuttering from any of the USB drives you mentioned then it's not drive speed as the primary factor. cheers -- ncpl ncpl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77080 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/96 Perfromance Issue ( Solution!)
I'm streaming as wav not flac and that gets around the issue. So, it's unlikely to be bandwidth of network. Would prefer to stream as flac if only because that's what I always did with SB+. Sound level also seems lower than playing same track via a DVDA in a spinner. So, I wonder what is going on in the decoding/streaming/processing at 96/24? Usually playback volume is identical. It is so when playing regular 44.1 flac.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/96 Perfromance Issue ( Solution!)
Hi John, dumb question but you are definitely streaming as flac not wav ? cheers -- ncpl ncpl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77080 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

JohnSwenson;537854 Wrote: Do you happen to know what the compression level was to begin with? Did you have anything plugged into the USB or SD connectors when you experienced the stuttering? If not then this is very important info. Would you be willing to ssh into the Touch and run some tests while the stuttering is happening? Thanks, John S. Hi John, I am wired (not Wifi) to the Touch and nothing plugged in apart from the CAT6 wire. Since streaming 96/24 wav does not stutter I don't think it's bandwidth. All flac I have are standard -5 level. Happy to test things if you suggest.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 24/96 Perfromance Issue ( Solution!)
Just to add my 2p I received my Touch today and have been testing a few 96/24 flac tracks. Touch is wired to gigabit router. All flac are at -5 and some (not all) 96/24 are skipping and stuttering to get going. Once they get going they seem to play OK. Changing a track seems to make it stutter again. Using my server to convert to wav seems a bit like a sticky plaster solution. Would be helpful to know what the clever chaps make of this issue. For me, access to 96/24 was the No1 reason to get the Touch. cheers PS...the screen actions look fab.
