VortexBox player dosn't work with SB3 it's just plays the music directly to a USB or S/PDIF DAC attached to your VortexBox. You can also play through a sound card installed in your VortexBox. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover artÂ… All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74662 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Phil Leigh;511961 Wrote: You need to be running SBS 7.4.2 I am running SBS 7.4.2 and have no problems listening to 24/96 FLAC files, but my TacT 2.2 sync light also reflects only 44.1 kHz. BTW, My current audio system is comprised of the following components: PC + Slimserver connected to Soundbox 3 via ethernet; SB3 digital out directly into digital preamp (Tact 2.2); digital out from preamp to digital in of Boz digital amps. There are essentially no analogue components in the path from the audio files stored on hard drive to the speakers which themselves have configurable digital crossovers. I'm using the SB3 purely as a lightweight client, i.e., using it and its remote to select digital audio files from my PC for playback on my Hi-Fi system. I have recently started purchasing 24 bit/96 kHz high resolution FLAC files from sites such as HDtracks.com. Does the SB3 send these files sampled at 96 kHz to the digital preamp in this format, or does it reduce the sampling frequency to 44.1 kHz? (As mentioned previously, the information on the TacT 2.2 indicates that the incoming sample is only 44.1 kHz and not 96 kHz.) I know that as far as analogue goes, the Touch supports these high resolution formats in the analogue domain, but I won't be using the analogue output so I don't see any need at present to purchase the Touch. Your experience and input would be much appreciated. -- Anton Anton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36424 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74662 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic and 24-bit FLAC
The SB3 can only handle 48k analogue and digital out. SOX is used in SBS to downsample 96k 24bit to 48k 24bit. The Touch can handle 96k.

While your waiting for your Touch you might want to give VortexBox Player a try. It can play up to 192/24 with no problems and no re-sampling.

When it comes to hardware both the Transporter and the Touch should do 24/96.
