Re: [slim] iPhone / iPad digital out: any experiences?

2016-06-03 Thread pippin

Should be pretty straightforward indeed.
There are few docks (when the Lightning Connector was introduced docks
had already come out of fashion and you probably don't want to use a
straight cable to your DAC (because you can't charge then) but otherwise
all newer iPhone models and all iPads make for pretty good players.
iPeng currently supports 96kHz/24Bit playback, we might up that to
192kHz in the future although it's a bit of a bandwidth/load tradeoff
(that's almost the data rate of an HD video stream and iThingies
obviously only have WiFi).

I've written an article about it when we first introduced the HD
playback in iPeng. It's a bit outdated, most of the limitations on the
iOS side no longer exist today but the general capabilities are all
still there.

[slim] iPhone / iPad digital out: any experiences?

2016-06-03 Thread Rainer M Krug
Hi

Apparently, it is relatively straight forward to get digital sound out
of an iPhone / iPad:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7055015?start=0=0


Has anybody tried this? Does it work?

If it works nicely, it might be a good alternative to the touch when
using iPeng?

and in 2010 I persuaded them to repoint their DNS to a replacement
server that emulated their Internet radio station directory ... and it
is still running now.

I just stumbled on this thread. Purchased immediately. 3 quid to have a
squeezebox in your pocket is a freaking bargain.

Nothing illegal about it.  All SB players are long past their
warranty/support period.  The TOS we all agreed to on MySB.com says any
services can end at any time for any reason and without notice.  I'm
equally shocked as I am happy they kept MySB.com running this long.  :)

Pragmatism will do you much better than Ranting :cool: 

We are where we are. LMS isn't going anywhere. Mysqueezebox.com is going
to die - its simply a matter of timing. Better to admit that, understand
what services will be affected, and plan for it.

In 2001 Turtle beach produced a simple streamer called the Audiotron and
it required an Turtle Beach website to run and give radio station
direcotry.  
In 2004 Turtle Beach stopped production.  
In 2007 Turtle Beach shut down the website.  They did provide a last
firmware update  workaround so that an alternative 3rd party website
could be used.
