Re: [slim] Wadia 170 iTransport vs Slimdevices Transporter - initial impressions
The Transporter is used in digital out mode. The Tact digital amps are in fact DAC's as the signal remains digital until outputting to speakers. The Slimdevices products are, IMO, easier to use in terms of seeing what tracks are playing, managing playlists etc. The advantage of the Wadia is that one does not have to be connected to a computer or network in order to play music. Sonically I did not find any advantage to the Wadia and, as stated in my initial post, I prefer the sound of the Transporter to that of the Wadia. I will again compare the units after running the Wadia for a week.

[slim] Fast forward/rewind on duet, with latest firmware and 7.1
I recently installed a duet and two servers, one running on a ReadyNAS NV+, the other on a vista PC (both show the same behavior). Brand new install of 7.1, with the controller firmware updated to the latest. I am using WMA VBR (about 130kbps) files. Whatever I do, I cannot move inside a track using fast forward/backward buttons. Moreover, there is no (real) documentation anywhere of how it is supposed to work! Some thread refer to an old way of scanning, going 2x, 4x, 8x the speed, but the latest version seems to work completely differently on the controller (you can apparently use the wheel to move inside the track). In my case, I press FF on the controller, and hold it until the Song position windows appears, with a slider for the current position. If I continue holding it, nothing happens. If I release the button, and press it again, the slider moves (although the track continues to play without interruption). When I release the FF button, the player would skip to the beginning of the next track. If I move again within the track (FW or RW), it will skip to the beginning of another track... And the time counter get screwed from time to time (showing negative time position, etc...). According to the FAQ #5995, seeking within a track is supported for WMA CBR and WMA VBR... According to the bug tracker entries, the seek function seems just not to work. Plenty of other people reported the same or similar issues. Which is it? Frankly, not supporting correctly such a basic functionality is quite unacceptable (any dirty cheap portable MP3 player can do that properly; no excuses!). -- aporret aporret's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19589 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Wadia 170 iTransport vs Slimdevices Transporter - initial impressions
Sorry, I was confused. I assume that the Transporter in Digital out mode will sound the same as the SB3, except you'll have support for 24/96 FLAC etc. If there both using the same DAC there will be no sound difference, all they are doing is sending the same digital data to the DAC. The Wadia seems an expensive way to get Digital out from an IPod.

Thanks I think there is a little confusion here - when you say Virgin, I assume you mean Virgin Media and you're in the UK? Firstly, ADSL if a variant of DSL - as far as I understand it all consumer DSL is ADSL. At the moment you more than likely have ADSL with which you are using an ADSL wireless router. This is a wireless router with an integrated ADSL modem. If you are changing to Virgin Media cable then they will supply you with a cable modem so you'll need to buy a standard wireless router that you will plug your cable modem into. You will (almost certainly) not be able to plug the Virgin Media cable modem into your ADSL wireless router. If you are changing to cable then what the cable company said about changing from an ADSL router to a DSL router is pretty much nonsense. Once everything is set up SBs shoudld work with any router.

Re: [slim] portable sound quality?
Thanks m_l , a couple of surprises in there for me. First one is that they have a wolfson DAC in the later generation ipods! Also I was reminded there of the line out that's available through the proprietary docking socket, which given the previous points might make a difference to sound quality just by using that instead of the headphone socket. That mod looks like something I'd definitely like to try. Even if posting a working device off to someone on the internet to break it open and modify it seems a little mad. :-) Damn, it looks like Vinnie charges $250 for the mod!

I'm using little sennheiser ones, they kind of hook into your ear. They sound pretty good. I used to use a big pair of sennheisers but your right the ipod couldn't drive them, at all! But where you really notice is when you plug it into something decent. Fair point on the fact that your usually jogging or driving, or in my case cycling a lot. Depends what your driving though :-) An smooth audi with bose isn't bad :-) For cycling though someone's gotta make a pair of headphones that are aerodynamic, the wind roar is the biggest problem on the bike! I'm kind of surprised that the good DAC in the SB (2 in my case) wouldn't be possible to fit into a compact machine, I would expect the voltage to be pretty low for the chip like. But of course there's a lot more to it than that by the sounds of things. for the sound of things :-P I wouldn't worry about the power supply though a battery would be totally smooth I expect I didn't realise there was much of a difference between line outs and headphone outputs but it sounds pretty unlikely that anyone would bother to engineer a proper line out supply, unless it was some kind of professional device I guess. Which would probably imply a price as hefty as it's weight. When you plug it into other devices, like your car, are you using the dock connector line out or the headphone jack. Big difference. You can get connector cables that have the dock on one side and mini phone plug on the other. 10-12 bucks and they make a world of difference bypassing the headphone jack. You won't have volume control so you have to plug into something that does. I first discovered this with my rockboxed Nano. I almost bought a headphone amp just so I could go out of the line out for headphones too. I bought some Westone headphones instead. They are the most comfortable in the ear I've ever worn. I can sleep with them in and not notice. The sound quality is up there with the best. You might want to look into them too. I use the UM2 dual driver version.

I find that if I touch the album files (flac) using Mediamonkey (my preferred album management tool) it forces SC 7.1 to re-look at the directory and to add the correct album art. Also, I have come to realize that internally SC 7.1 seems to convert all album art names to cover.jpg independent to what the actual names are which in my case are all Album Art.jpg? So doing it the hard and long way I'll eventually get SC 7.1 to recognize all of my art! -CB -- ctbarker32 ctbarker32's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51448 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] ADSL vs DSL
I actually perfer separate devices. My experience has been that the all in one devices (modem, router, wireless access point) aren't very flexible. For my DSL service, I actually had to pay a little more to get just a modem rather than what they call an internet gateway. This allowed me to use a Linksys WRT54GS, which I can load custom firmware on and easily upgrade the antennas. Cable modems and DSL modems are entirely different technologies. I don't know why the person you spoke with would tell you that your cable internet service would use DSL. With separate devices (modem and router/wireless access point), you will have the flexability to buy a wireless router that will suit your wireless range needs. With an all-in-one device, you are stuck with what the phone company or cable company make available. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet.

Re: [slim] ADSL vs DSL
A DSL router is used with DSL service. DSL is not provided by a cable company. I believe what you refer to as a DSL router is just a generic router. There is some confusion of terms here. Unless in the UK a generic router is referred to as a DSL router. With your current setup with your ADSL router - is it an all-in-one unit or is it connected to a separate modem? If it is 2 separate units, then I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it with your cable modem when you get it. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet.

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter won't start anymore
Found this thread after experiencing the same problem yesterday. Apparently MySQL was corrupted. I uninstalled 7.01 but the old MySQL folder wasn't removed. When I tried installing 7.1 (using folder Squeezecenter), the old MySQL folder still caused problems (Squeezecenter wouldn't start). I re-installed 7.1 using a new destination folder (e.g. Squeezecenter1) and it worked fine. I can't remove the old folder no matter what I try.

Is it possible to switch the Duet controller between using the receiver and the wireless access point, depending on where I am in the house? Not automatically, you'd have to do it manually. I think there's an enhancement request already open to have it switch between AP's based on signal strength - it wouldn't be a bad idea to add the SBR to that. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44357 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Fast forward/rewind on duet, with latest firmware and 7.1
When the Song Position display appears, let go of the FF/RW button and use the scroll wheel to change the track position. That's how it works for me (using the vanilla 7.1 release). Considerably better than the old 2-4-8x speedup, which I could never get to work properly. I think I read the instructions either in the Release Notes for 7.1 or in something that was linked from them.

[slim] Linking different streams to multiple MP3 files
Hi, I'm using a combination of SqueezeCenter and the Alien BBC plugin to allow me to listen to BBC Radio 7 in my Chumby. As the Chumby currently lacks any way to select a specific stream on SqueezeCenter, is it possible to set up SqueezeCenter to expose more than one stream.mp3 URL, each of which is linked to a different stream? I guess I could get the same effect running multiple instances of SqueezeCenter on different ports but that seems clumsy (not that this request is elegant) Thanks Sean -- mrsean2k mrsean2k's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19604 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51577 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Controller: Doesn't stay on track!
You might as well go for a 7.2 beta, 7.2 is very soon to be released. if you go 7.1 take the 7.1.1 the slightly bugfixed one Btw don't worry if 7.1 or 7.2 crash at the first start after install, just delete your cache folder and start again, it will then automatically build a new database. They made some changes in dB something ? that require a rescan, somewhere in 7.1 beta ? this happens automatically in many cases, but in some cases it crash. By cache folder i mean SqueezeCenters cache folder. you can find its location by going to settings in SC then status and scroll down a bit. -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51466 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
