I have discovered another variant to use the iPeng local playback feature on an iThingy device. You can hook up your iThingy with the Digital AV adapter dongle (30-pins to HDMI, with a second port to keep your iThingy charged), and then use HDMI to connect your AV receiver (and let the receiver do the D/A conversion). That works mostly fine for me, but:
- CDs served from my NAS using LMS appear to be upsampled from 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz (at least that's why receiver shows). I assume that iOS does that somewhere along the way when the Digital AV adapter is detected. - Surround files (Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1) wrapped in PCM (SPDIF compatible) and sampled at 48 or 96 kHz are passed through unchanged and are recognised as surround by the receiver and properly decoded. - Surround files (Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1) wrapped in PCM (SPDIF compatible) and sampled at 44.1 kHz are messed up. They are upsampled to 48 kHz along the way (my receiver shows a PCM stream at 48 kHz) and then produce white noise. The latter is my only problem as I have a fair number of DTS CDs sampled at 44.1 kHz. I assume the resample to 48 kHz is done by iOS, in which case I suppose I have no recourse other than to resample the source files to 48 kHz before wrapping them in a PCM stream. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vinnie_tw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58556 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96304 _______________________________________________ diy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/diy
