For those who haven't seen it, Linn released it's Super Audio Surround Collection Vol 3 sampler (Various Artists) in FLAC 24bit/96kHz. For those looking for high quality music examples, this includes 16 tracks of various Jazz and Classical tracks. It's only $13.50, which isn't too bad for a "demo disk." It's > 1Gb of disk space though.
But, I get a static sound in the beginning of several tracks on my Transporter that's 100Mb/s ethernet connected. I'm wondering what the source of it is. I'm re-downloading the tracks just in case. I found that it doesn't matter if I use an external DAC or use the internal DAC, so it appears to either be in the files or maybe the streaming. What would it sound like if the buffers weren't full enough to begin play and then it catches up? I have 100Mb/s dedicated to the Transporter and GE to the NAS. It also appears inconsistent - it doesn't always do it. Other than that, the sound is astounding. Not sure about the music on some of the tracks, but the depth of the reverb and presence of the instruments is astounding. Of course I didn't buy the CD version to compare, though. -- thomsens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thomsens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1352 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40977 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
