Re: [slim] Question about exactly what is streamed when using LAME encoder
robotron2;600748 Wrote: Briefly on my set up: I have 6 total SB's, 3 are wired and connected to good quality stereo systems, 3 are wireless and are SB booms or equivalent quality. I generally run all 6 of my SB's synced - even if I am not moving around the house I find that easier than tinkering with the sync settings. Here's my question: on the wireless SB's I have enabled LAME conversion to MP3 and maximum bitrate to 192k. The fact is, those systems are not good enough for me to hear the difference with, and I find SB syncing more reliable when bitrates are limited over wireless. At the same time, I don't have any bit rate limiting on the wired players. Someone in another thread mentioned to me that if you have players synced and you play 96/24 content, a SB Touch won't get 96/24 if you have lesser SB's on the network. One thing I am wondering about, though, is is the same thing effectively true when LAME is enable with one player and I'm syncing to others where LAME is not enabled -- ie do I get effectively the lowest bit rate stream, are some players getting a lossless stream while others are getting LAME. Finally, is it possible to see what bit rate the player itself is getting? I would have thought that this would be in now playing somewhere, but I don't see it. A synchronised stream is just one stream used by multiple players, so yes, it will be the lowest common rate supported across the devices - in your case if you set bitrate limiting to 192 for one player, all synced players in that sync group will get MP3 at that same rate. For mp3, the bit rate varies anyway during playback - the 192 is a max value. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

@blueadept: did you try to look in SqueezePad at the exact same place
where you find your lyrics on the Duet Controller?
A context menu opens when you do a long press on a menu-item (it's the
same menu you get, when you press the '+' key on the Controller).
Just to confirm, as expected the context menu works perfectly in
SqueezePad.
So anyone that just wants to be able to show lyrics for a song can
install Song Info and Song Lyrics plugins in SBS Settigns/Plugins and
then hold a while on a track in SqueezePad and select the Song Lyrics
item at the bottom of the context menu that appears.

Would you repair these if they break or would you just take the opportunity to get a new device which is the current state of the art on the market ? It depends on the gear. Digital electronics have a much faster design turnover with discernible real-world performance differences. But more traditional devices (and circuits) are very different. I listen everyday through vintage era tube gear, running old production tubes, most of which is now about 50 years old. If they need service, I repair them without reservation. They typically don't. I have no intention of replacing them with modern replacements, as frankly, they still sound better than new gear, and are far better built. We have other gear that is well over 20 years old that still works superbly. I am not going to dump a heavy Thorens or heritage-era Klipsch if they brake down - I will fix them. But getting to the SB3, I would probably replace mine with Touches if any of them malfunctioned. I use ours as simple wired head ends, feeding higher quality outboard DACs. I do like the relative simplicity of the SB3, and would miss that. This is a modern product line that is generally still extent, so it's still apples to apples. If the line were completely discontinued, I might feel differently. -- sgmlaw sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84567 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Logitech Trade-In Program
The SB3 and Touch is in that price range when recycling them makes more sense than repair in some cases. That said my SB3 is 5year in February never had any trouble with that one . Seems to be quality stuff :) I may even get my 10 years of service life from such low cost product to. I don't think that VFD is that susceptible to breakdown . But compared to what ? and reading this forum SB3 fail comes in as: Broken remote , WIFI-card, PSU or display and more seldom, the mainboard itself except for damaged caused by lightning or a failed psu or other stuff . It does not have many parts no moving parts not much can go wrong . So I understands that people wonders if they can fit a new display as it one of few lose components . Personally I think the SB3 is a design classic and i do want to keep mine alive as long as possible, and the geniality off the slim client powerful server design, makes it keep up with changes it is not obsolete yet :) How many 5 year old players runs spotify ? (with the help of a server plugin) Even if one keeps buying quality stuff you eventually end up with lemon from someone, thats life. One should be carefull with some garage brand hand made high end , it takes experience to get quality and longevity out off stuff.

Re: [slim] Logitech Trade-In Program
The Transporter is a very good player but I believe it is a bit overpriced. Especially for the age of technology youre buying. I would get the Touch instead. If youre not happy with the sound it produces you still can get a good DAC and have spent less money than you would on the Transporter alone. A second reason why I wouldnt go the Transporter route is the presumable short live span the device will have. Im sceptic about how long Logitech will be able to service it. -- Pascal Hibon 2 x SB3, 1 x SB Boom and 1 x SB Radio - all wireless ReadyNAS NVX running SBS iPeng on iPod Touch.
