Reviving an old thread - I have just purchased a 24/96 copy of 'Raising Sand' from HD tracks. As it arrives from HDTracks the Transporter is unable to play any track, just noise produced, although my DAC does recognise the S/PDIF stream produced by the transporter as 24/96. I followed the

I have experienced the same issue. If you re-encode the file at the default 5 compression level, the tracks from HDTracks.com will play fine. I run them all through a FLAC-FLAC recompression when I get them and it has fixed all problems I have encountered. I have the same songs that were

To extend this a little bit further... the higher the level of compression, the higher the amount of work required to de-compress. It seems that the Transporter isn't quite capable of de-compressing 24/96 flac files with high levels of compression. Converting to wav, or reducing the amount of

I'm little surprised by the fact that Transporter cannot decompress on the fly 24/96 flac files without any struggling. I admit I didn't conduct any test myself but maybe there is a chance that my Transporter is able to do that without hickups :-). I'm going to record some 24/96 files and put

As Sean alluded to, earlier in this thread, it has been a problem with some material, some levels of compression, and some firmware versions. To me, it appears that the hardware is a bit marginal. As my 24/96 files account for less than 2% of my total music collection, the extra space
