Ah yes, the version. I was running the bug fix nightly from Feb 14:
SlimServer_6_2_x_v2006-02-14.tar.gz
And it looks like that version installs firmware version 33.

Had another Squeezebox3 freak out this morning.
The power to my house was interrupted for a few seconds and the sb3
lost power. When it came back up, it was sending a buzzing signal to
the right channel of my amp at a moderate volume. There was no
slimserver running at the time.

However, if you're using a preamp then you're likely using your SB3 at
full volume output all the time and relying on the preamp for
attenuation. This results in a greatly reduced volume differential
between the 100% volume music
signal and the 100% volume
Since I haven't received my SB3 yet, I'm a little ignorant, but from
what I've read, the first thing you do before connecting your SB3
directly to an amp is set the SB3's preamp volume to zero, and then
work your way up from there until you have an appropriate output
voltage to drive your amp.

where they care more about gear and counting the bits than actually
listening to music? ;-)

Well, if there is a bug that could potentialy shred your speakers,

In my experience with SB1/SB3, I don't think the SB does anything to
provide safe signals.
In my experiance, almost no consumer or professional equipment does, except
as an option at extra cost.

what is really needed is what radio stations use which is
essentially a real-time mastering engine. This includes compression,
equalization, gating, peak limiting, etc. This is the only way to get
quality sound from a wide variety of music.

Yes, you can use the preamp as a brute-force and simplistic gain
control. I was not saying that you cannot do that. But it mostly not a
good solution for listening to music.
This is a solution that all of the music-listening world uses. You need a
gain control of some sort. Period. If you

I don't have a lot of time to spend figuring out the very best way to
talk about something for a company that ripped me off for $200+. Having
almost blown some very expensive speakers with the SB1, I really don't
have any patience left for the raft of digital noise bugs that
apparently still
On the technical side of things, I think there are countless algorithms
for identifying noise and unwanted sounds and many shipping products.
You're thinking is wrong.
While you might have been using a SB for two years, you don't have 25
years of audio background.
I do. And 23+ of it is
I had an LG DVD player blow the tweeters out of my $1800 speakers.
These things can happen. None of these things are perfect.
LG didn't even bother to respond to our contact about the issue. At
least Slim Devices have been responsive. Hell, you didn't actually
lose anything anyway - only
As digital data is present on the server (for the most part) before
being sent to the SB, what would be useful is a scanner that looks for
digital noise in the input stream. This would help the overall signal
chain quite a bit.
As per the OP, this isn't where the problem originated.
if this was a dac problem - does this mean that it couldn't happen to
the digital output...this is just pass-through right?
