[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] S/PDIF (Coaxial) Cable Length

I’m fairly new to the concept of running S/PDIF out of the SB to a DAC. So far, I’m really pleased with the results. I’m thinking ahead to the SB Touch and I’m contemplating installing the Touch on a wall. This would make my S/PDIF (RCA/coaxial) cable run back to the DAC quite long –

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SqueezeSlave ASIO vs Minimalist Audio Player ASIO

Hello to you the Audiophiles. Did you try SqueezeSlave Asio ? Did you try Andy's Minimalist Audio Player (wasapi or ASIO) ? (http://andy-audioplayer.blogspot.com/2008/12/minimalist-wasapi-memory-player_23.html) I tried both and a lot of others like cPlay/cMP, Foobar, Winamp, ... The best in a

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] S/PDIF (Coaxial) Cable Length

I have a SPDIF cable running from my big stereo rig in the basement, to the home theatre setup in the living room, so not quite 25 feet, but probably 16-18. Works fine with no issues. If you use a good quality RG6 cable, you should be fine. High frequency roll off is the only mechanism that I

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] S/PDIF (Coaxial) Cable Length

I didn't measure to the foot, but my run of coax has to be close to 25' from the Squeezebox to the DAC. (15' long run in the basement joists plus 4' or 5' in the room at each end for connections to the respective devices.) The signal is rock solid at the DAC. I previously had a short run with

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] S/PDIF (Coaxial) Cable Length

The maximum cable length in the S/PDIF specification is 10 meters, or about 39 feet. Just as a test, I once ran S/PDIF output through the double-shielded RG6 cable TV coaxial cables (temporarily disconnected from the CATV system) from the Squeezebox in my living room to a DAC in my main

Go to Shoutcast and use their search function and click on the broadband button and you will see stations that are streaming at reasonably high bitrates. Quite a few at 192kb or better but it all depends on your taste in music :-) http://www.shoutcast.com/# -- rabbit

My CD player and all CD's collection died few months ago. Transporter took their place. I'm sure I will never look back. Now I begin to collect new things - high resolution music files, like those from hdtracksdotcom. I wish I could split the cost with someone - just an idea. Right to Transporter

I've been getting a lot of music from an online music retailer called MusicZeit. They specialize in electronic music by independent artists. The only other way to get this music in the US is via international retailers and paying import prices. Lately, that option has become quite expensive

I think that I've played a CD twice in the past year 2 years (since starting this SB journey). It's reflex to just rip it first at this point, if I'm going that route. -- Keymaster Keymaster's Profile:
