[slim] Bit-correct digital out on Squeezebox?

2005-02-25 Thread Steinar Bjaerum
Hi.   Has anyone verified that the digital out on Squeezebox (with fixed digital output level) is bit-correct? I am thinking about playing an uncompressed WAV, recording the signal at the digital output and comparing the recording with the original WAV.   Is such a test part of Slimdev

Hi. I investigated the bit-correctness of the digital output of Squeezebox using the DTS encoded as WAV method: I downloaded a DTS sample file encoded as a 44.1kHz WAV file. I made a second version of the file where the sign was inverted for all samples. I connected the digital out of my Squeezeb
