Re-ripping is a pain, but on the plus side, it takes less time to rip in FLAC because there is less compression to do. When I first set up EAC to encode in FLAC, it went so fast, I was worried that I must've done something wrong. -- ob_kook SB2 -- Axiom passive pre -- Portal Paladin

Here's a brief summary of the experience in-shop: Their cheapest amp turned out to -be- the Arcam A70 (£500), so we listened with that. I don't know why - I had given him an idea of our budget - but the rather unenthusiastic sales gentleman decided to plug in some Totem speakers costing £600. We

At this time the Transporter does not resample audio data under any circumstances. The firmware architecture really never had resampling in mind. The SB3 will resample 88.2KHz and 96KHz content down to 44.1KHz and 48KHz, respectively. I would suggest you check the wav file to make sure it

Tried that! It's already in standby and when I power down my PC the error messages start to appear and pressing the power button has no effect. The only way I can stop this from happening is to log on to squeezenetwork before powering down my PC and then the Transporter remains in standby until

It may not sound too good though. Most PC soundcards have a native sampling rate of 48kHz, and may well upsample the CD's 44.1 to 48 internally. You may be able to stop this, but it's unpredictable - different soundcards may do different things. Your DAC might tell you what the incoming sample

I have and Esoteric D-03/P-03 combo and modified Northstar transport in some of my own high end setups. Ever since I got my Transporters, they are the only transports that have been used. Transparency is all we can ask for and I think the Transporter delivers that to the T. If I had time, I
