Hi All, just installed my TP and so far am totally knocked out by it -
one thing I've noticed is that occasionally it emits a clunking noise
when using the remote( a bit like a floppy disk drive reading a disk ,
but not as loud ) is this normal ?

Normal. This is the knob in a degauss cycle (the knob is magnetic).
Later firmware versions didn't do this quite as much, so be sure to
keep SlimServer current in order to get the latest firmware version.

So did the owner of the Sirius sell his Nordost cables post the test?

I'm looking to build an SB3 based system for my living room (so
aesthetics are a consideration, and I already have an SB3 connected to
my TAGMcLaren DAC and BW 805's in my listening room, so this is not my
primary system).
The question I have is: Would I be better off (in terms of sound
What does any of that have to do with the Randi challenge? A bunch of
guys got together and did some listening tests. We do it all the time
but don't equate it to the rigorous protocols involved in double-blind
testing in a controlled environment.

Sometimes jiggling the knob helps.
I hope that next Transporter won't have anything on it's front mask.
Who uses that anyway, it's just for show off.

Well we've proved that such a system is so good that it can get a great
sound through any cables. Plus, that room looks pretty acoustically
active, a DAB radio would probably sound good ;)

Probably because their customers are marketing sponges and will believe

I was under the impression Transporter would not play 88.2 kHz files,
however it plays fine, with Transporter showing a bitrate of 2760 kbps
and a sample rate of 22.7
Transporter does not properly support 88.2. Currently if you are
hearing it play 88.2, it is because it is being decimated in software.
The crystals were chosen to do 44.1, 96, and fractions thereof. Why not
put a crystal fast enough for 88.2 in there? Because when you are trying

One thing to note when doing this kind of math: for lossless formats
(whether FLAC or WMA doesn't matter), as you go from 16 bits to 24
bits, you can expect your compression ratio to go down substantially.
That is to say, you will get almost no compression to speak of

What he said. I bought some Sonus Faber speakers, because I thought they

I still had to sleep in the tub. Get approval first.
