Steve i know u are a big proponent of I2S instead of reclocking
However im still curious to know if it is possible to add a wordclock
or superclock input function to the squeezebox? I believe this will
save alot of people the need to buy the transporter for their digital
out only.

Alright I got my third (and best) measurement in today. I haven't

If so it's a bit unusual. All your equipment would be receiving IR at

You appear to have a reflecting telescope in the opposite corner. Simply
align Transporter, telescope main mirror, and remote control accordingly

I assume the photo is being taken from roughly the seating position. I'd
put a mirror (or something else suitably reflective) on the table
directly in front, angled towards the Transporter (which I'd move back

Hiya,
I too live in England and put a SB3 in my (large'ish) conservatory,
although I have carpet. I mounted a pair of Boise 2.2 speakers over the
door from the house(on speaker mounts) and tied them to a very, very
inexpensive Sonic Impact Portable T-amp (Ebay). Wires routed up and
over the door.
How about sitting up with your ears at a proper level for listening?

My general advice would be: do as much as you reasonably can for room
treatments, and add room correction too.
Room treatments don't only work at the "sweet spot", they can really
help broaden it. Typical places to try address would be: side-wall

I assume you mean their 6020A model. The two models are (based on

Sorry that the IR sensor isn't in the right place for you. We did try
to place it with the widest visibility, but with all that display glass

The IR input jack is designed to connect directly to the IR output of a
