only the transporter supports 24bit/96KHz. The squeezebox is max
24bit/48Khz and frames will be skipped in order to chop the 96KHz down
to 28KHz. So if you want to play linn records stuido masters properly
buy a transporter.

Thanks Mark that answers my question. Rips are pretty quick with
dBpoweramp Reference in one pass when AccurateRip verifies the data.
The discs that I have put in which are not recognised are, as you say,
probably a different pressing. In this situation the software falls

Maybe subjectivists will take this as a wake-up call - if linear
supplies really make audio equipment sound better, they'd better
demonstrate that in some controlled tests. Then they'll at least be
able to make a reasonable argument against this.

The best audio stuff is the stuff you make yourself, and they can't ban
that, so it's no big deal.
I'm not sure that linear supplies are better anyway. They are big
and heavy in addition to being inefficient.
Maybe the power line frequency should be boosted to 100 kHz instead.

Can you quantify (in plain terms) the difference Inguz room correction

Well, any room correction system will work, but Inguz is the least
expensive. I use Acourate to generate filters for both Inguz and the

accurate since it has more filter taps than the TacT unit. I've been

I haven't tried DRC, but it is a lot cheaper than Acourate (free vs
$430+ ).
Acourate does phase correction that other systems don't (as far as I
know).
