All versions have this capability, its in the file formats page

I've read through all of the posts in this thread just because I've had
a similar experience a few months earlier and was hoping to find a
solution/answer to the problem which I brushed aside at the time as
insignificant but very intriguing one.

Guys- Been going through some pretty extensive blind testing, and am
coming to the conclusion that I cannot hear much if any difference
between running my Duet spdif through a CI Audio VDA 2 external DAC vs.
going directly to my Arcam AVR 300's spdif input. After not being able
to decide, I trie
I'm still debating on whether to purchase this or not. I have the Stereo
and Mono CD boxes, and I still have no idea if I'm going to hear a
difference.
But I can plug this directly into my Duet?

Phil,
first, thx for your posts on this, very interesting. i'm also a beatle
nut, and i want your thoughts on the following:
do you believe that the equipment of the time, was in fact capable of
recording in those extremely high and low ranges you're discussing?
we are talking about 4 track ta

Great to know, Sean.
I think I will try BNC, the info about the transformer vs. capacitor is
very interesting. I use the analog outputs now, and am very satisfied
with the sound from 16/44.1. Supposedly, the Denon AVP has some
remarkable DACs/analog stages, so if anything has the chance to beat
Actually, both RCA and BNC are coax connectors so you shouldn't say coax
in reference to a particular one.
As to which is better, BNC is a better connector in all regards - it is
designed for high frequencies whereas RCA isn't. It has a locking fit
which won't come loose. It's just a better, mor
Hi,
I have a new Denon AVP processor coming soon, and I was considering
using the Transporter's BNC connector vs. analog or the coax SPDIF.
Good, bad, pros or cons?

Unfortunately, SqueezeCenter 7.3. seems to have lost its capability to
transcode flac to wav which was working in 7.2. flawlessly . When I set

Many thanks for all the suggestions.

If you just begin to think about
Are there actually any DACs that do respond by changing the clock out
according to the SPDIF metadata? That would be cool, although since
they could only be used properly with a single transport system (the
Transporter), I guess the market would be a tad limited!
