Re: [slim] Yet another Duet grievance...
Yes, the SB3 work under Squeezenetwork no problem. I can control them via remote or from the Squeezenetwork panel. The SBR or SBC... different story. They don't even show the favorites preference from the SB3 and from Squeezenetwork. Inconsistent. Odd. In any case, if nothing else, the lack of integration of SB3 and SBR is surprising. I truly am about to totally decommission the Duet entirely and give up on it. I do not discount others' experiences, and all the power to them, for me it has been a huge disappointment. I thought I would love it, and yet I am utterly underwhelmed by the wireless issues and now by the inability to enjoy the same Squeezenetwork experience throughout the house. -- pablolie pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48883 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Non-US Duet Delivery?
I spoke to Ripcaster on Friday (13th) and they said the Recevier stock arrived that day, would be posted out Monday and be with us by Tuesday. Good news but I've heard it before with my original Duet and it turned out there stil wasn't enough stock to satisfy demand. If there is anyone from Slimdevices / Logitech US reading this, you really should put some pressure on your European subsidiary to sort out these kind of problems so that they don't happen again with your next release.

Where is your normal listening volume ? Your hopefully aware of that the digital volume is reducing bits so the noisefloor is creeping closer. What amp or dac is the SB connected to you could just try the volume on that instead, and use the full volume of the SB to see if the problem goes away.

What exactly does it mean? What amp or dac is the SB connected to you could just try the volume on that instead, and use the full volume of the SB to see if the problem goes away. It doesn't matter to what it is connected to. I have three SBs around the house.

Also, I really would like to press that this only happens on MP4 files, not on MP3. Looks to me as if there is something wrong with the MP4 decoding. Also, might the wireless connection introduce noise? I feed the SB over WiFi. I don't have the spec for the SB digital volume in my head.

Re: [slim] lot's of backgroud noise like tape hiss
Aaaa only for MP4 files then I'm totaly lost here ? (sorry i did'nt notice) but i'm strongly suggest that you fix the volume for the SB connected to the AVR4306 this setting is per player so it won't affect the other zones. Drawback is that you have to use the Denons volume for the main rig. SPDIF (the digital or coax) have no metadata so it's just a raw 16/44 or whatever bit stream so the only way to accomplish volume is to reduce bits. So the SB can not tell the Denon what volume to play, you have to alter the data. Sorry I have no MP4 or m4a files ? there must be something awol with the decoding/encoding I use only flac. btw. The big Dynaudio is nice :-) I use a MeridianG68J and a SiriuS DMX200 to a pair of Contour 4.0 as front pair, an old model but very good. -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48877 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] lot's of backgroud noise like tape hiss
I would not say that digital out is bad I use that as the dacs in my meridian is superior to the SB3, but i don't use the volume control. So the digital out is the preferred output to HT equipment as most HT amps digitize it's analog inputs anyway, any kind of processing including subwofer filter is done digital, so I think digital is better. I use my Meridian preamp for volume. and has the SB volume for that player on fixed. You could go analog if your Denon has analog bypass, but as you said you have the noise on other players around the house, so i'm guessing this won't solve our problem And as you said theres something with your mp4 decoding if its fine with mp3 or flac or WAV, theres nothing wrong with your amp conection with digital if it works with all other files but mp4. I know tw**t about mp4 so whats the bitrate how are these ripped ? You might want to send a file to a forum member that does use mp4.

Re: [slim] lot's of backgroud noise like tape hiss
The thing is... I want to use the volume control of the SB. If I have to go to the amp and fiddle with the volume there, that doesn't make much sense to me. Destroys the whole concept of the Duet (one controller for everything). I have the Duet controller and want to do everything from there. And if digital volume control is cutting out bits, that's a total no go for me. So I will definitely switch to analog. I checked the MP4 transcoding settings. It says it is using mov123 for the transcoding. There is no other setting available. The other thing is I am using Mac OS X on intel processors. With each new release of SqueezeCenter I have to change the setting for the transcoding from little endian to big endian because the SC people just don't get it that little endian was used back on the PowerPC days (might be the other way around, from big to little, I don't remember). If I don't do that, all my MP4 don't play at all.

Re: [slim] lot's of backgroud noise like tape hiss
Well it depend's i dont know much about the denon. So you have to try, beware that with some level mismatch you might be trowing away more SN ratio or bit's by going Digital analog digital and analog to the speakers. As i said the analog volume on the SB is also digital but probably at a higher bit rate 24bit (soon some senior forum member IS coming to browbeat me about this :) ). What is best in practice you have to experiment with. But don't automatically sneeze at bit reducing, it can be better than the alternative. And at 24 bit it is better than analog volume, it's whats my preamp is doing anyway (it's upsampling everything to 24/96 prior to processing ) But my experience is that most Analog to digital converters in HT amp's is rather lowfi you use it for ye olde VHS and tape deck and similar uncritical applications. And my kitchen setup with an SBR is done so that volume off my active speakers is such that when the SBR volume is maxed out it is roughly as loud as i ever want to play. So adjust the volume on the amps conected to the SB to use as much of it's range as possible that's best practice afiak. -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48877 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

IMHO the problem is nothing to do with the OP's hardware. This is obviously the case since he has no problems except with M4a files. Also this is nothing to do with the SB volume/gain controls - you don't get hiss by reducing the bit depth - you get a grungy sound at very very low volumes.

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
A long thread if its been said before, my apologies. Never mind the MusicIP scanner how long that takes (never been a problem for me), the thing that bugs me is the SC scanner interface with Music IP when I'm scanning new or changed music. Here SC scanner zips through the music folders mostly correctly picking up changes and additions in double quick time, but then it does a FULL scan of Music IP import. THAT takes for ages. I'm scanning as I write this. Directory scan finished in 25 secs, Music IP import, currently at 2450 of 20593 having taken 4 mins 50 secs already!! Is there not a smart way for SC scanner to suck in only the changes/adds on Music IP?? Yes I like MIP too...

Re: [slim] lot's of backgroud noise like tape hiss
Just to correct a few things regarding the volume control on the SB. Yes it is digital, yes it works by throwing away bits, but the output is 24bit not 16bit and the decrease in SNR shouldn't be noticeable with moderate use. The recommendation is do setup the amp so it's about right with the SB at max, and then use the SB for fine control. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48877 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] lot's of backgroud noise like tape hiss
Hi, to clarify: These files are top notch quality. They play without any hiss on any other player (like from within iTunes or on my iPod or through Winamp on Windows). So it's only on the SB Duet where the files are causing problems. ReplayGain is turned off in SC. I also don't seem to have had this problem a while back, so I am guessing it was introduced with one of the recent SC upgrades. I tried 7.1 today, but I get the same thing. The noise also seems to dynamically adjust. e.g. in portions of the track that have limited volume, the noise is going down. When the track builds up, the noise builds up. I have attached a track to this thread which will perfectly show this behavior in the first couple of seconds of the track, where two or three chords of piano are played, with silence inbetween them. As soon as the piano chors hits the silence, you can hear how the noise increases and then goes down again once the piano chord is over. Please note that SC is running on Mac OS X (Intel based). Maybe that's of importance. Every new version of SC that is released for Mac has the wrong conversion setting in the convert.conf. It is telling FLAC to use big endian instead of little endian. Big endian is not working on Intel based processors, it is only working on PPC processors. See my seperate thread for this in the developer subforum. Maybe this is related. -- funkahdafi funkahdafi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5608 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48877 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
chinablues;312134 Wrote: A long thread if its been said before, my apologies. Never mind the MusicIP scanner how long that takes (never been a problem for me), the thing that bugs me is the SC scanner interface with Music IP when I'm scanning new or changed music. Here SC scanner zips through the music folders mostly correctly picking up changes and additions in double quick time, but then it does a FULL scan of Music IP import. THAT takes for ages. I'm scanning as I write this. Directory scan finished in 25 secs, Music IP import, currently at 2450 of 20593 having taken 4 mins 50 secs already!! Is there not a smart way for SC scanner to suck in only the changes/adds on Music IP?? The SC rescan happens because every time you add albums with MiP the entire cache/ database is regenerated. I have the same gripe and am exploring a number of options to get around this (if it is at all possible). I see two possibilities (both on the presumption that appending rather than rewriting the MiP cache will stop SC having to do a full blown rescan): - append the cache file using MiP GUI - append the cache file using Genpuid Genpuid is the more attractive option because it doesn't require user intervention and can be automated eg run overnight. If I find a solution I'll post it here. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic... egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
Pippin- Two thoughts: - why scan your audio books? The are probably very long, unrecognized (because few, if any, others will scan books), and hence will take ages to process... and it seems unlikely you're going to want a music mix with audio books in it (unless I am very confused about the point of MIP). Ditto for DVD rips, etc- if it's not a song, why analyze it? If you have much of this stuff, it is less surprising that the process is taking ages (though I would expect it to take only 80% of the total play time of the files, per the MIP website... and yours is taking longer, so there may be something else slowing you up as well). Maybe try removing those files from the path to be processed? - If your Mac did 25% of these files in a day, 1. something must be wrong on your other system (unless your Mac is 100's of times faster...) and 2. why not just process it all via the Mac, then move it over to the server?

Also scanning my whole lib on the mac is not an option since the mac does not have a big enough HD to hold it - it's a MBA and has only 80GB. I could transfer it back and forth but that's probably hours of work - I don't want to spend that. Easier to let my server run it in the background for a few weeks. I'm not in a hurry about MIP. Also, my Mac was probably especially fast since it only held the simple part of my lib - I did not scan the Audio Books here since they are in a different folder. Removing my files is not an option since then I would have to build all my path related indexes anew (e.g. in iTunes). I don't know how to exclude a subpath from scanning. I just report this here for information since I started to do this two weeks ago and i think somebody trying to do this too could be interested. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] lot's of backgroud noise like tape hiss
for what it is worth, i noticed that the AAC did not play on my Linux based server at first. i have standardized my music collection on flac and mp3, so it is not a big deal, but it did surprise me. thus i did some searching on these forums, and saw there are issues with AAC with some regularity. the AAC played on my Linux server after installing some additional modules; and i have never had issues on my other, Vista based server. however it seems obvious it is not the favorite music format for the squeezebox. a possible suggestion -albeit inconvenient- is to reinstall Quicktime and then Squeezecenter from scratch. there are threads indicating that has helped some other Windows and Mac based installations before. -- pablolie pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48877 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
