Hi. I have a problem with playing WAW files usually 96k/24b on SBT. Then the sound coming out of the SBT sounds like a FM tuner that is tuned in between two stations. (Noise only). Well It Usually the first couple of times works OK when I start to play a song. Then the Noise comes every time i start to play a WAW file. It is possible to play Flac and MP3 files. But when I return to play WAW, the Noise returns.
I have setup the Squeezebox server to play the waw files following: In filetypes: WAW Flac Deactivated MP3 Deactivated PCM Native There are No problem with noise, only wonderful music in the speakers when: 1) When I play the same 96k/24bWAW files using the buildin SBS in the SBT. (in this case the SBS in the SBT does NOT Convert using sox) 2) setup the Squeezebox server to play WAW Flac Flac/sox MP3 Deactivated PCM Native I have tested this problem and it occurs on Squeezebox server ver: officiel releases 7.5.3, 7.5.4 and two builds(32302 and 32364) of the 7.6.0 It is tested using two different MAC computers. (2.53GHz Mac mini and 2.66GHzMac Book Pro.) both running OSX 10.6.7. Both running via WLan. I have only tested the Spdif Coax output because I'm using an external DAC. The problem is only when playing WAW files. Then why do I play WAW instead of Flac? I have read Soundchecks threads and studied his Toolbox in following link: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 When reading that Soundcheck could hear different between transcoding and Native playing Flac files. Then I asked my self why in the world playing FLAC when the HDD today has the size enough for WAW files. I also converted some Flac files(HDtrack downloaded) to WAW and did A-B tests between Flac and WAW. and Sorry to say it but every time the WAW file was played the sound was much more realistic, better perspective, depth, micro dynamics etc. This was tested when playing the files from a USB memory stick via the buildin SBS in the SBT Please see 1). I then wanted to make the same test using the same setting of files on the Squeezebox server Please see 2). and now only Noise comes out of the speakers. I have attached a log file that should include the issue. Does anybody have the same issue? and a solution to fix it? +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: slimserver27042011.log.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11775| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Caad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Caad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9350 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87331 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
