Rob, I agree completely. Many audiophiles have their SB's modified so that the analog signal goes out directly from the DAC. This inverts polarity. As a result, many of us are still sitting on 6.2.1 with V15 firmware (that also inverted polarity) and remedied the problem. However, this means that we don't get all the bug fixes. We can't just remedy the problem by swapping the speaker wires at the terminals as this inverts polarity for ALL sources in the system. Also, the vast majority of pre-amps do not have a polarity inversion switch. So a simple software switch "Invert polarity - Yes/No" via SlimServer interface would at least get us back to having all sources in correct polarity. The ability to switch polarity on the fly via the remote control would be nice but could wait until later. -- DSK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DSK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4225 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19961 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
