I I forgot the UMG watermark that universal and its subsidiaries has
embedded in all thier music it's audible in all music and especially
classic it's not that subtle as it survives lower bitrates than we
discuss here.
Spotty plugin should give 320k already there is no exposed settings ? Is
not premium a prerequisite to have any squeezebox integration .
Also LMS have a setting to lower the volume on streaming sources default
is -5dB set this to 0 dB .
Also turn of all volume levelling in LMS if your going to
This might be useful:

It also seems that Premium Subscribers have to switch on 320kbps
streaming, otherwise they get 160kbps.

Yes, I heard about this
I used to use Spotify Premium but haven't done so for some years.
What I found back then was that not all the albums were streamed at
320kbps even on a premium subscription. There was no way of telling from
the Spotify interface what the bitrate was and only folk who happen to
run a bandwidth
I have been a Spotify Premium user ever Since MOG went under I liked
MOG a lot, Spotify had a good catalog, but I have never been impressed
with the Sound Quality of Spotify.
I have been listening to some Russian Jazz Stations on Tunein Radio that
stream at 192 kbps. These stations sound far

Another thougth active speakers ? Or active digital speakers ? Provided

Important caveat the xover should be digital or analog before the amps
showing the amp in the speaker box and still have a passive filter does
not make them
Correct, never met a dlna playback device that is as satisfying to use
as an LMS end point. Add the colour touchscreen and numerous
android/iPhone apps and it's game over, frankly. Win for the
squeezeboxes.
As for sound quality, I'm extremely happy with my SBT, Mytek DAC and
Supernait amp combo.
I think the black SE looks better without the knob.

Once you have used LMS, dlna is simply awful as a streaming approach.

Exactly, I'm proud to rip myself my own CDs using the best accurate rip
software.
I already got a decent CD player, and don't intend to change it, Mnyb,
thanks for the suggestion anyway :)

What he said. ^^ The ripping part is a pain in the ass but once done
it's done. I have an offboard DAC for my SBT going to a stereo amplifier
for music playback, which also is fed front left/right signals from an
AV amp for TV/film duties. Best of both worlds.

Rip your CD's to 16/44.1 FLAC files and save the investment of a CD
player .
You can now listen to your CD's via LMS and your squeezebox touch .
If your stereo also is in your TV room and you get a DAC with multiple
digital inputs or an amp with multiple digital inputs just use your dvd
or

If you really want a Transporter, at $499 it's not a bad deal. The knob
part was discontinued so that's why those versions sell for so much
more. If you primarily control your SB player via the remote, or via
PC/app, the knob is not necessary. In any case, it's not worth $500
more!
