Here I collected the data using an s/pdif analyzer so you can see all the differences in the "out of band" s/pdif information between an SB3 and a typical CD player:
http://www.seanadams.com/sb3_cd_spdif_comparison/ As you can see, the SB3 reports its sample rate correctly, the same as a CD player. However there are many other channel status bits which are set differently, such as our clock precision, category code, and copyright bit. The CD player also transmits subcode information (track number / position) whereas squeezebox does not. The s/pdif spec is extremely complicated so it is quite likely that the DAC is misinterpreting one of the fields, especially if it is an older or home-brew design. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34288 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
