This is correct if upsampling sound different it's broken

Recently I have noticed that my Transporter is intermittently skipping
to the next track while in the middle of the current track. It seems
to be a bit random and I can't say it always happens on the same
track.

This is extremely unlikely to be a server problem. Is the crackling on

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't what you'd call minimal...

DAC - Linn 5103 -
and it never hurts to do a xlinx reset. remove power to transporter,
point remote at transporter with 1 key held down, then restore power
to transporter. You should eventually see xlinx reset on transporter
menu. Then you can quit holding down the 1 key and just let the
transporter finish

Never encountered that problem with my Transporter but maybe it is as

When sitting in the sweet spot my speakers are not heard until the

One more thought...
The Transporter along with older units like SB Classic, Boom, etc. have
slower processing speed than the Touch. You may run into trouble if any
of your music has been compressed with out-of-spec FLAC's. For
example, FLACCL is capable of encoding up to compression level 11 I
gotya. so ill just enable analog.
feck, what was that command again?
