Yesterday I had the chance to listen to the Transporter as a friend came
over and brought his new toy.
In the beginning I was quite sceptical as I thought my setup was quite
good to start. My SB3 is connected to a Benchmark DAC1.
First we compared both sources connected to the benchmark - no
Chrysalis,
That does an automount on login. but will not automount on startup...
But thanks for thw info anyway...

About a month ago I decided to consolidate my two-channel system from a
Transporter, Arcam FMJ pre-amp, and pair of Arcam FMJ mono-blocks to a
much simpler system consisting of a Transporter and Bryston 3B SST amp.
My speakers are PMC FB1+s, which are reputed to have good synergy with
Bryston

Hi Jaco,
by it's nature, the SB3 is already a FIFO type system. As such to
improve it's clocking ability, you need only improve it's internal
clock. No need for an external FIFO buffer.
This is true, however there is insufficient space and power supply
resources

Interesting test/article.
Steven Nugent goes for uppsampling on the computer and Benchmark
engineers goes for uppsampling natively in their dac`s.
Actually, I still prefer upsampling to 24/96 using Foobar 0.8.3 and
SRC, but with the Pace-Car even 16/44.1 is spectacular

Can you just save the source(s) you use as a favourite, then a
long-press on '1', '2' etc. on the remote will recall that favourite?

Well done Mike...it does happen (I've certainly seen this before).
Hopefully when the speakers are back in place you should find the sound
more homogenous (stereo left/right imaging should be more solid).
It's lucky you did move those speakers, otw you would never have found

So you mean, aside from the fact that Squeezebox does not do 96KHz, why
doesn't it do 96KHz? :)
1) the audio outputs will not run faster than 48KHz
2) the cpu is not fast enough to decode FLAC at 96KHz
3) we try to play anyway, and drop every other sample to make it seem
like it's working. This
BTW it might be worth investigating on-the-fly decoding, decimation to
48, and re-encoding to FLAC on the server for 96KHz content (would
require flac of course, plus something like sox).
If someone could provide a patch to do that it would be a much better
solution.

48 is the max, and the dac and s/pdif are driven together.

The SB's hardware limitations are not confusing at all, I'm confused
why high-res flac's show different problems.

You just need to adopt the right attitude! Think of this as an

cheapest one in

Going back to the thread title, how do people actually create true

source files. Any suggestions?

In the mean time maybe consider batch-converting to 48 and keeping the

Here's another idea. Mount the disk while you are logged in. Then go
to System Preferences - Accounts- Login Items and hit the + at the
bottom of the list. Navigate to the volume you want to automount and
select 'Add'. (If there are any passwords involved you would need the
