I moved my 96K file to a new folder & got it to show up in slimserver.
But when I try to play the file, it never starts - the browser window
just resets over & over trying to play it. Again, the file plays fine
in Windows.

Hi All -
Just got my transporter today and starting to use.
I have a question about playing 96K/24b WAV files. I have a few
resampled files done by Goldwave that play fine using Windows media
player and are clearly 96K/24b in the file properties, but I can't get
Slimserver to recognize the fil

Not at all. You still have to _get_ all that data to the player. And

My understanding was that the problem was technical implementation, not

Right
A modern PC has a gigabyte of RAM, which can hold a complete CD,

Was it by chance, the ridiculously fat "Audio Quest Clear" with the

I've got a pair of that stuff.
