Hi- I've recently upgraded to the Cary 306 (see sig) for both SACD and
as a DAC for redbook PCM from the Transporter digital outs.

Hi all, having just moved home I don't have a remote place to site my
old ReadyNas NV box which runs Squeezecenter and feeds my TP ( or
whatever it's called now ) which is necessary because of noise ( don't
know if it's the fan or the drives ) I've just tried siting it under the
stairs but I can

Ok. I'm not using the analog outs of the Transporter, but I referred to
the AES digital out as balanced since it is XLR terminated. Of
course, then we have the question of the interconnect quality itself,
but that's another topic.
Thanks for the advice on the ethernet. I'll need about 50 feet

Should I expect a slight sound quality improvement using ethernet (vs

you shouldn't expect *any* difference if your WIFI connection is good.
Either wifi or ethernet will deliver perfect bits to the transporter.
This said, WIFI can suffer interference, etc. that can make it
Hm. So how would this interference manifest itself? I haven't had a
buffering problem since upgrading my router, so I don't have a concern
in that area. I'm trying to work through each part of the data path in
order to determine why CDs played in the transport sound better than
from the media

reasonably priced is a pretty vague term, but as we're in the
Audiophiles forum I'll assume you mean expensive :-)
If you want quiet, capable, and convenient you probably can't do better
than the Fit-PC line (www.fit-pc.com/web/). The Fit-PC computers are
also ridiculously small. They take 2.5
you might also try toslink optical out from transporter as well. Some
see EMI noise transmitted via S/PDIF coax connections. And in many cases
the S/PDIF coax connectors are not the correct ohm. These are typically
such small effects that they are not audible under normal conditions,
but perhaps

How can I go back to the previous version of the EDO plugin please?
I am on the current new version and to my ears it does sound quite harsh
to listen to for a prolonged period of time, if somebody could post a
step by step way of how to go to the previous version that

Please read the rest of this thread (at least from post #56 onwards) -
although some have claimed 0.6 sounded better than 0.7, no one has
stepped up to the challenge of testing the two binaries against each

that's the problem Triode, you ask for feedback and so far you have not

Appreciated. Not the answer I wanted, but lesson learned. I'll hope
that AES is closer than S/PDIF to CD. The Cary has been an enormous
upgrade even with the clock situation. Worst case is that I'll play CDs
for any serious listening. Of course, as good as the system sounds now
I'll

No, the transporter is not being clocked by the Cary, it's a one way

why not have the default code use the 0.6 method and then if it senses
internet radio at the start of the track make it branch to a separate
codepath that allow the internet radio format to play.
as far as I know no one is complaining about 0.6 and even the guy who
