If you have other sources, you could use the Inguz DRC plugin. It can be configured to invert absolute polarity. You don't need to make any measurements or anything, just follow the installation instructions, then select the Invert Polarity room correction filter that is provided. Works for

yes the bolder analog mod removes the analog op-amp which effectively reverses the phase of the unit. thus they recommend rolling back to firmware 15 which as i see it can't be done on a mac. as for whether or not you can hear it is up for some debate i guess. wayne from bolder said he can easily

i have a question that could go in many different forums here, thought i'd try it here. bolder suggests using version 1.5 of slimserver to correct for phase issues (i think that's right, audiocircle's server is down right now and i can't pull it up). anyways, the program written to roll back to

Versions of the Squeezebox2/3 firmware after 15 -corrected- phase. Pre-15 the phase was backwards. If a modder reversed your phase, then you have a choice: 1) Correct it by reversing the phase on your cables. 2) Correct it by using an ancient version of the firmware that is no longer supported

yup of course all my files would also be OGG! oh well. maybe we'll get lucky and sean will add an optional build we can download that reverses phase. i give this place a lot of credit, they have always been pretty open to have people poking and prodding at their device. very commendable. --

Did someone mod your SB and reverse the phase? That is the real question... And if they did, just un-reverse it at the cables. (Or use the digital output.) -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile:
