Question: To what is your Transporter connected

- Preamp
- Poweramp

 Granted, the SCA2 is a superb piece of kit (I was extraordinarily lucky
 to get a mint second hand one for well under half the list price), but I
 mention it simply to make the point that the minimum possible number of
 components is not *necessarily* the better option.
 
 iPhone's comment, that it's hard to go wrong using the minimum number
 of components, is spot on, I think.  Hard (probably so in the vast
 majority of cases), but not *always* so.
Agreed. Some people round here will know that I'm a bit of an
evangelist for the ditch the preamp message. But my rationale has
always been that it's because most preamps do have an audible
signature. The SCA2 is one of the few exceptions. (Of course, some
people might actually prefer whatever colourations their choice of
preamp introduces, and that's fine).

Preamp here, but it's also an SCA2 into SCM100SL AT's.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Anyone tried a 96k 24 bit download

2009-06-04 Thread TiredLegs

I downloaded the 24/96 samples from HDTracks. When I try to play them on
my SB3 (Classic), I get the error Problem unable to play file type on
the SB3 display.

I'm running Squeezecenter 7.3.2 on a Buffalo LinkStation (if that
matters). The Squeezecenter log reads:

Slim::Player::Song::open (341) Error: Couldn't create command
line for flc playback for
[file:///mnt/disk1/Music/HDtracks9624/2-Lucia.flac]

Any ideas?
