Thanks for that.

I agree. Probably best to have everything in FLAC, and pre-downsample
anything above 96k to avoid resampling on the fly.
Thanks Julf.
Agree that after some listening the trade off between AIFF over Flac
isn't worth it sound quality wise, so will be making a copy of my music
and

That's really odd. The compression has no

Even when using an external DAC?
To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard. In this
fast-growing art of 'high fidelity' the quackery will bear a solid gilt
edge that

Hi,
what a waste! *A Raspberry Pi would do the same job.* If you go via USB
into a recent DAC that plays DSD natively ( for example the IFI Mico or
Nano) you wouldn't even have to bother about converting Highres files
into something the Transporte understands.

Big computer audio guy here, if it was better I'd be using one!
Depends what you use for output, my Pi has nothing to do with it, just
an I2C S/P-DIF out.

I have two turntables - one in the Living Room and one in my Office - I
am in the process of digitising my mainly 70s vinyl collection into
FLAC. I have no idea when I will finish and still buy the odd vinyl.
In the office I stick an album on, click record in VinylStudio and carry
on working on

It can't decode 24/96

The blocksize doesn't do much. It averages slightly smaller with 8k or
16k at high bitrates.
For 16/44.1 a blocksize of 4096 even creates smaller files as the 4608
maximum at this rate.
For compatibility reasons the official flac defaults to 4096 for all
rates.
I remember the 24/96 Rebecca

Thanks for the help guys, and some interesting info about Flac
compression.
I'll stick to server side processing I think, just to be sure.
BTW daft quesion?
In Advanced settings\File Types...
Setting to Disabled means server side decoding, as opposed to Native,
meaning decoded on teh
I'm just going back to the original post. Why would you go for a
Transporter when you've come from a Touch? Especially if you're using a
DAC.
The Touch can output 24/192 over USB with the EDO application, which
means you can get an asynchronous connection that will also allow you to
stream DSD

What's wrong with pretty box :) transporter is a classic . Personally I
have a Touch and as digital transport it's exatly as god as my meridian

oppo or better ) .
The TP is darn cool , re old digital audio took giant leaps
