[SlimDevices: Touch] Rebuffering during playback of one 192 file

2018-12-19 Thread DBart


Hello,

Squeezebox Touch streaming wirelessly to iMac running Mojave. Using the
Enhanced Digital applet for 192 playback. I have one 24/192 file that
simply will not playback without constant rebuffing. All other 24/192
files playback without issue. I have re-downloaded the file several
times with no change.

Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

Thank you.

A balanced isolation transformer and a well performed technical earth
will get rid of most evils but if you have a SMPSU anywhere in you audio
system..

That is absolutely the truth.  And it has gotten worse below 10 MHz,
too.  And it gets into everything.  Passive mains filtering catches only
some of it.  Years ago, all I had to worry about was a little RF on the
line and some compressor and motor noise that was manageable.  Some of
these new high E chargers and AC supplies are noise machines.

Fortunately, commercial OTA at the tower (here in the US) has gotten so
poor in quality that it seems to balance out, and I don't feel I am
missing anything anyway.

But I am probably going to start putting in some active measures soon to
tamp down some of it, as noise wave-form cancelling technology has
dramatically improved in the past 5 years.
