I believe 88kHz and 96kHz support is possible with the current hardware, it is a matter of upgrading the firmware to support it. There is an FR/bug on this apparently. -- bludragon bludragon's Profile:

The minimum is indeed specified at 1000ma (1amp) but it is considered good engineering practice to double the specification to take account of production tolerances, heat and types of use. The stock wall-wart states 5v @ 2amps on the attached sticker which sort of gives a hint of what the

Has anyone purchased a Yamaha MCX-CA15 as a stand-alone in-wall amplifier to partner the Squeezebox? I want a remote solution of a Squeezebox and speakers in my kitchen. Needs to be in-ceiling or in-wall as I don't want the speakers visible. The blurb for the CA15 says it can power-amp to 17w

Firstly measured using a Powermeter: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=38343TabID=1source=1doy=search This was obviously the 'other' side of the SB3, i.e. how much mains current was being drawn by the PSU + SB3. It showed 5/6 watts, 0.04 amps, 9VA, PF of 0.61 at 240v. Second

How do I go about upgrading the firmware? Thing is, I've tried out a 24/96 recording and my Lavry DAC still locks at 44.1 (the lovely thing actually tells you what signal it is getting). Don't get me wrong -- the sound is terrific and is a definite improvement over the SB3. Being a pro audio

Well, it's interesting because I can't get my SB2 wireless to draw more than about 950mA under any condition. Display fully bright (with a lot of activity,) lowish impedance headphones hooked up (turned up full,) digital output feeding another device and loaded correctly (not sure why that would

Davey I will recheck using a different meter - this time digital, calibrated and made by Fluke. Last readings were using an old analogue meter as it was to hand and I hadn't anticipated publishing the data! Regards David -- Heuer

Just spoke to Kevin -- what a champ. There are no plans to upgrade the firmware for greater rates. In fact, the reason my 24/96 files come out as 44.1 is that the SB doesn't even recognize the file. This will not change in the forseeable future. I can see there point. There are not a lot of

Well, I hope you guys are right about the benefits of these wall warts. I just ordered the Elpac WM075-1950-760 from Allied Electronics. I'm using the coaxial output. I'll post an opinion in this thread after I give it a listen. -- ezkcdude
