And if you have an SB3/Classic a 24/96 or a 24/192 file will be
resampled to 24/48 by SOX for example the server knows what the hardware
supports. If you wait a while you can get a Touch it supports 24/96
natively .
Or a used Transporter it does 24/96 out of the box.

I got my HT processor before my Squeezebox, It's on it's 6 years old now
now .
That is one the one thing I never figured how to even A-B test ? 6ch
processors !
To begin with they are not using the exact same algorithms for
processing or subwoofer crossover, so I did try to test them side by

There is a difference between cheap stuff and slightly more expensive
stuff(and I mean slightly). If you can't tell the difference within 2-3
hours chances are they are not big enough to care about.
There are some subtle differences with opamps though, swapping them
without any pre-conceptions
I have been interested in this device/similar. The only thing holding
me back is how different it will be from my current setup. I don't
really want the AQ to change, or for weird things to happen between my
music and myself.
My interest in the squeeze box is such that it is an external interfa
This is a great thread! I believe that what it really says is that the
SB/TP designers did a really good job up front, and that easily
definable/audible improvements are going to be difficult to come by.
Real science and engineering trumps hype, and imagined improvements any
day.

Jörg you are not alone : I know plenty of people who can't hear
differences between dacs when outputs are aligned.
I also know a lot of people who can't hear differences between
amplifiers (provided they don't get out of specs) and the same about
interconnects or speaker cables.
It is not a probl
Jorg, one item that I don't think has been pointed out is that a DAC is
an item that can be added to your system at any point down the road if
you change your mind about audibility.
Unlike making a present day decision to rip your CDs to MP3 quality
instead of WAV or FLAC, deciding to stick with
Thanks for your answers. I would like to ask another question to those
who believe: Did you calibrate the volume and switch from one source to
the other (SB analog / SB external DAC) without knowing which one was
playing?
I did. And my system is 1 overall. And yes, I hear differences.

I tried the Xilinx reboot. I powered up holding the 1 button and
releasing it when the "Programming Xilinx" appears. The unit goes into
"Factory Reset" after the "Programming Xilinx" and does not come out of
the factory reset loop.

Everybody has made some fine points, as Phil has pointed out - the
variables could and can go on forever.

I do - but I can understand others that hear little/no difference.
There are too many variables to say why that might be the case.

I have one and it is very good, it even
"Accuracy" is an approximation, anyway. It clearly depends where do you
place your attention.
Something "averagely" less accurate, may be more accurate in a
particular subset, and, if these parameters are all you care, then it is
more "accurate" for you. ;)

My 2 cents:
the order of importance in terms of contribution to enjoyable sound
is:
{most important first}
1) the inherent sound of the recording
2) the room and its treatments
3) the speakers
4) the time of day and my frame of mind
5) the rest of the playback chain (transport, amps, dacs, power
