Re: [slim] S/PDIF inputs : capacitor or transfo coupling ?
I have just finished my SP/DIF cable, with the right connectors : Cinch (sat TV tuner) and BNC (to the floating input of the Transceiver). It works (only) when source clock is on this input. Logical... But when I switch to the Squeezecenter, I hear muffled and bassy sounds. I have tried sync and async options in the menu, but it does not change anything : in other words, when I want to switch between the BNC input and the SQcenter, the only way that I've found is to change the clock input via the settings of the SQcenter. Unless I am wrong with the setup, would not it be more convenient to choose the clock source for each input ? -- fakarava2 To nobody, except those who will take pleasure here (Franz Schubert, 01/31/1797 - 11/19/1828) fakarava2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16310 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61198 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] S/PDIF inputs : capacitor or transfo coupling ?
Sean, Thank you very much for your answer. I did not expect an answer from the father of the Transporter ! In my setup, it is not a real problem of ground loop : in fact, my cathodic TV has a big default current (maybe from the high voltage transformer) and it is not grounded : I have measured 70V between chassis and ground. When I used an analog audio cable, the leak was returning to ground via my amplifier and has burnt some lo-value resistors (between chassis and mains grounds). I know : I only need to get my TV set repaired ;-) -- fakarava2 To nobody, except those who will take pleasure here (Franz Schubert, 01/31/1797 - 11/19/1828) fakarava2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16310 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61198 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] S/PDIF inputs : capacitor or transfo coupling ?
My satellite receiver has a S/PDIF RCA connector. No optical connector, alas, you'll see why : It is SCART connected with my TV set, which has some ground leaks (up to 70 V!). I have had some problems with the analog link to my amplifier... - Is the transformer-coupled S/PDIF input of the Transporter floating enough ? - Do i need some sort of insulation transformer ? - In that case, what stuff ? (impusion xformer ?) - More generally, are there some audible difference between the BNC and the RCA inputs, or is it simply a convenient way to switch between different inputs ? -- fakarava2 To nobody, except those who will take pleasure here (Franz Schubert, 01/31/1797 - 11/19/1828) fakarava2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16310 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61198 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Will my setup reflect the quality of a transporter?
- First, you can already make the test: compare the SB versus the rx-v2700 internal DAC. Notice that you may have to put some attenuation (via the squeezecenter menu) otherwise you might find a lot of distortion and conclude that SB is junk (I've marked 6, which stands for -6dB). - You could also try it with an external DAC that you borrow somewhere. - Transporter is a very fine machine and works well with hi-end systems. I am not sure it would do something better for your actual setup. (I have both, SB3 in the kitchen, and TP on the main system). Listen and make your opinion, as always. -- fakarava2 To nobody, except those who will take pleasure here (Franz Schubert, 01/31/1797 - 11/19/1828) fakarava2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16310 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50394 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
