The Bluetooth stack needs to support the codec. Apps can't change Apple's Bluetooth stack so if iPad doesn't support the codec, you can't use it. Ultimately, I plan to stream to my iPad Air from server via LMS/iPeng and then stream from iPad to receiver via AirPlay and/or aptX (the receiver supports both). Don't know about AptX but please be aware that AirPlay only supports 16/48 so if you use AirPlay, iOS will downsample your stream to that (the 16 bit don't hurt as much as with other transmissions because volume will be sent separately). The stream uses lossless ALAC. Regarding the exchange above regarding the dock, my understanding is that my receiver (NAD D 7050) is capable of 24/96 via its USB dock (type A USB connector) from iPad Air. Well, the iPad doesn't have a USB port so you need a Lightning-to-USB adaptor. Also, the iPad has to act as a USB host. Lightning generally supports that but whether your DAC is compatible is something I don't know. AFAIK the DAC needs to be part of Apple's MFI program for that. With the old iPads you could use the CCK but I am not sure that will still work to full resolution (it might, I just don't know) since you would put up quite an adapter stack (Lightning-30-Pin-USB). --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100641 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox Replacement - Would you be interested?
gstew wrote: John, Thanks for the status updates. Very exciting that this is getting closer to HW. John, I've been watching both the Community Squeezebox development and the DAC you're doing for Bottlehead and weighing which would be better for me. Since my main digital source is from a computer music player, Community Squeeze seems to be the best option. I remember you saying awhile back that the Wandboard/CSPx will require a good PS for the best SQ. Would it be a good bet to build up the 5v version of your choke-filtered design for that supply? Also, for us DIY'ers always trying for a little more, do you expect it will make any difference to separate the rails and use multiple supplies, say one for the Wandboard and another for the CSPx, especially with all the design tricks you are using? Also, will there be an option to select the appropriate settings in the SW (mainly the SoX resampling) or will they be the preset default, or will that be a separate configuration step when using a full CSPx setup? Besides the good power supply, I'm as prepared as I can be... got my Wandboard Quad loaded with the Community Squeeze OS F19 and the designated Hammond case waiting for a CSPx board! Again, thanks! And also thanks to Triode, JackofAll, and all others doing the SW side! Greg in Mississippi Hi Greg, the Bottlehead and CSP have the same DAC topology the differences are that the CSP is JUST a squeezebox player, the BH does USB and S/PDIF. So if you are a SB person, going with CSP gives you a more focused option. For the BH DAC the filter parameters are built in to the FPGA, you can't change them, for CSP the filter is done in software on the wandboard, you can change the parameters via a webGui any time you want. On the PS front the BH comes with a battery which gets the best out of it. The CSP has a jack, you can plug whatever you want into it. I had not thought about using separate supplies with the CSP. In order for it to work there will have to be some changes to the board layout and some way to select single or double supply. There is no way to do this with the boards as they are currently layed out. I will have to think about this one and see if there is any way to do this. John S.

16/48 is the maximum, everything having higher sample rates will get downsampled. 16/44.1 will be left as it is. That said If your AirPlay receiver is an AppleTV which only has an HDMI output which only supports 16/48, the 44.1 material will obviously get upsampled by the AppleTV. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100641 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The NAD D 7050 came out this past summer 2013. Although it's on back order, I think the iDevice dock will be one way to stream 24/96. It also is UPnP compliant. But the UPnP controllers are no iPeng!

Yeah, hard to say what's going on. Guessing they've been too slammed putting together the new service to give much thought to the old MOG.
