Re: [slim] Android box as squeezebox
I use my NEXBOX A1 S912 -> Orange Squeeze + SqueezePlayer -> HDMI -> Yamaha RX-V381 with no issue. I will try to experiment with multi-channel audio later (especially DSD/SACD).

Re: [slim] suggestion for desktop speakers
thank you, I confess I didn't notice that they were bi-amped. Anyway my question remains: would I be better off spending the same money on passive speakers keeping my (preamp and) amp, or you suggest to go with the Emotiva?

[slim] suggestion for desktop speakers
Hi I am considering to buy a pair of desktop speakers to replace the Tannoy in my signature. After having praised the active Audioengine 5(+) for year, recently Steve Guttenberg has written a very positive review for the active Emotiva Pro airmotiv 4 http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-57367525-47/emotivas-astonishing-desktop-speaker/ I could get them for about #8364;380, but since I don't necessarily need active speakers I was wandering if I could get some better passive speakers. The passive speakers I am considering are: - Audioengine P4, at #8364;234 (+ #8364;45 for DS2 Desktop Speaker Stands) - Wharfedale Diamond 10.2, at #8364;310 - JohnBlue JB3, at #8364;360.00 any opinion and/or suggestion? -- Nando1970 LMS 7.7.1 on Windows 7 PC serving: * Touch - Trends Audio PA-10 SE / TA-10.2P SE / PW-10 - Tannoy 603 or Sennheiser HD 280 pro * Duet - AV Receiver Harman Kardon AVR-255 - Chario Syntar 200 * 4 Booms: bathroom1, bathroom2, bedroom, kitchen Nando1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38639 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94196 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] how to setup a proper ABX test
thank you everybody. Just to make you all sleep well ;-) my CD collection is ripped in FLAC using EAC for my home listening, then converted to MP3 for the iPod, and I've been advocating FLAC it's a long time now Anyway I would love to be able to do some proper ABX test and I'll investigate into your suggestion (too bad all of the sudden I'm currently very busy at work...) I would love to start with two 24/176 tracks (Tchaikovsky:Hopak from Mazeppa by The Minnesota Orchestra and Gottschalk: Suis Moi! Caprice by Joel Fan), then dither it down to 16/41, and finally use lame for MP3 320, V0, V2, CBR 128 and have the setup ready also for my guests to help make my point about FLAC. Any suggestion about what tool to use to dither down from 24/176 to 16/41 without introducing artifacts? I might also set up a similar test with few Abbey Road (Beatles) 24bit tracks ciao -- Nando -- Nando1970 Nando1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38639 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79558 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Yes please.

[slim] how to setup a proper ABX test
Hello I would love to setup a proper ABX test using Squeezebox players, but I couldn't find a dedicated plug-in. My main goal is to verify if I can discriminate between MP3 V2, MP3 320, FLAC 16/44, FLAC 24/96 using my current hardware configurations: 1) Duet - Harman Kardon AVR-255 - Chario Syntar 200 2) Boom Since the Squeezebox Server can serve different streams to multiple players it should be able to switch between different streams for the same player, especially if perfect synchronization between the different streams (playing the same track) is not strictly required. Any suggestion? ciao -- Nando -- Nando1970 Nando1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38639 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79558 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
