John:
Have you given some thought to designing a top of the line dac with the
i2s and other premium products such as the anagram tech nologies
products used in dac like the audio aero, audiomecca,camelot.
It is more than likely that my posting should be an email to you
instead of a post on this
I have no processing or equalisers turned on in Winamp. In the Winamp
preferences, it states the sound output plugin being used is:
DirectSound output v2.44 (out_ds.dll)
Also the input plugin being used is :
Reference FLAC decoder v1.0beta6a (in_flac.dll)
I don't know if these are the
Just a guess...but make sure your Slimserver file-type settings aren't
converting FLACs to MP3
From the Slimserver interface:
HomeServer SettingsFile Types
- make sure FLAC-MP3 is unchecked...

Thanks, I already checked that and all I have enabled is FLAC - FLAC

May it be your files use replaygain via SlimServer and therefore just
sound lower in volume and not worse if it is that obvious?

Hello,
I have posted a comparison of all three of SqueezeBox 3 outputs
[analog/SPDIF/Toslink] using the RightMark Audio Analyzer. The test
measures several key audio parameters [such as frequency response,
noise level, and THD] in a real world systems environment. It can be
found at:

Not to be critical here, but what exactly is a real world environment?
I've visited a lot of people's homes and heard a lot of stereo systems,
and there are plenty of different examples of real world...enough
variety where you'd really have to describe the specifics for any test
results to have
In the 2nd to last paragraph you mention more noise in right channel
than left. That is due to interference from the built in plasma
display. Turning this to OFF, at least during play is helpful.

Hello Phil,
By real world, I mean connected to a real entertainment system and
not in a lab connected to nothing other than test equipment. One could
overdesign or underdesign a particular audio component, but what is
ultimately important is how it performs when connected to your
system...

Nice work there!
The analog measurements are in the same ballpark as I've measured, but
I have to tell you this is not the right way to characterize the
digital outputs. You're really just showing the RX-V2500's performance,
so all we can conclude is that the digital outputs are working. It
Your comments in the report that the SB3 doesn't support more than
16-bit resolution not correct for all file formats. It will play
44/48kHz x 24 bit FLAC files just fine.

Hello Sean,
Thanks for your reply. With regard to the testing of digital outputs,
doing the systems approach to the analysis is exactly my point. What
is ultimately important is the quality of the sound reaching your ears.
It will only be as good as the weakest link in audio rendering chain.
The SqueezeBox should ALWAYS be set to its maximum volume level [40]
for best signal quality
thanks that tracks with what Sean had said in this thread

needless to say i am purchasing a pre-amp or new integrated
amplifier.

That's fine, but you've presented this as a comparison between SB3's
three outputs, which it isn't at all. It is a comparison between SB3's
DAC and the one in your
