Having purchased John Mellecamp's new album today I'm curious re the
maximum resolution the SB3 is able to playback without hiccup. The
reaon I ask is because the DVD XOΔE copy includes the tracks in
24/96 WAV. As I don't want to restrict listening to it only on my
Transporter I'm going to downs
buy cheap 'wow gold' (http://www.wowgold.ws/) and 'Maple Story Mesos'
(http://www.cheapmesos.com/) ,Our has the price to be cheapest and is
all 'age conan gold' (http://www.ageofconanmall.com) coins which you
want.

If a person uses Winamp to rip to flac you need to be careful not to
overly compress because it uses flake instead of the Reference Flac and
is able to compress to the point of breaking flac standards and causing
playback problems in lots of devices. This is from memory but thats the
gist of it.
With high datarate FLACs (24-bit or DTS), it's usually a good idea to
use a milder compression level than normal, to give the Squeezebox CPU
a little more leeway.
I use compression level 1 for high datarate tracks and level 7 for
everything else and that seems to work fine.

In the bug report I submitted, after discovering SqueezeCenter had
clicks on 24/96, while the old SlimServer didnt have this problem it
was concluded that the "compression" chosen when doing the flac rip was
the cause of it.
Keeping this at 5 should avoid the problem, but you can look up the bug
r
Ya that. :)

I think the phrase you're looking for is aliasing artefacts ;)

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have
others
SB+, EAR V20, Living Voice OBX-R2s plus some other stuff

I've never tried it, but I believe in a conversation I had with Sean he
said there was audible garbage due to the downsampling.
The downsampling is only there so you can hear... something. Officially
24/96 is NOT supported by the Squeezebox line.

I have yet to hear of anyone who can aurally distinguish between the
"discard every other sample" method used by the SB and using (say)
Audacity to downsample with a "proper" algorithm.
Anyone disagree?

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't wha
Ha! What an excellent bit of lateral thinking! Why didn't I think of
that?
Many thanks.

Given that disc space is cheap, I would opt for keeping the hi-res files
outside your main music library, and using Foobar to perform a once only
downsample as a copy of the original file which you put in your music
library. That way you keep the load on the server to a minimum, with no
on-the-fly
Hi
Apologies (and let me know) if this is the wrong area for this
question.
I understand the the SB3 does not really handle 24/96 properly but just
drops every second sample at the SB3 to get a somewhat butchered 48 KHz
stream.
I also understand (I think) that for better fidelity one can do pro
14 matches
