On the other hand, the Song Scanner plugin goes a long way to doing

I have not tried it but I will give it a go. I would

Hi, I've just taken delivery of a Shek D1 and was a little surprised at
how lightweight cheap the power supply that is supplied with it
feels.
It's a variable output regulated / switched model that came preset at
12v.
It may be great - I've got nothing else to compare it to - but in my

Since you're in the UK, get a Skynet SMPS 8080. They're easily available
(Ebay too) and cheap. The beauty of this PS is that is can power both
the Squeezebox and the Shek Dac at the same time, as it puts out both5v
and 12v.
I cannot tell you which of the two profited more, but the SMPS makes

If a linear, regulated supply is what you want check out CPC who stock

I read in a thread somewhere that streaming WAV audio was referred to as

I am pretty new to all of this. What is WAV, how do you rip to WAV ?
Are there any drawbacks other than size of file (assuming it large) to
using WAV. Is
flac is nothing else than a lossless compression format for wav with tag
support, with no loss in quality, where wav is actually the raw music

B,
From an information technology perspective FLAC and WAV are the same
quality. The whole point is that FLAC compresses the information held
in a WAV file to half size, much like winzip compresses a computer
file. Just like winzip, when FLAC is uncompressed it is exactly (and I

Speaker placement is free and you could improve a room with treatment
