Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Can Squeezebox play streaming radio at 320 kbps?

basslover: Yes, the 320kb/s Linn stations sound better than Rhapsody at 192kb/s, mostly in the high frequency extension and detail. But I'm not saying the 192kb/s sounds bad - it is very nice sounding also. -- kh6idf

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Can Squeezebox play streaming radio at 320 kbps?

Glad to hear no drop outs. A while back when I had it set up, there were a bunch of stations, many in Eastern Europe, that advertised high bit rates, but they never played without dropping out every few seconds. -- basslover

Yes Linn stations at 320 Kbps plays beautifully with no drop outs -- agentsmith Main System: Source: Macbook Pro/M2Tech HiFace/Naim DAC/Teddy XPS Amplification: Naim 282/200/Hicap+Powerline/NAPSC Speakers: Harbeth Monitor 30 Bedroom System: SB2 or Airport Express + Meridian AD88 Missing my

The Linn Radio stations play fine on my Squeezebox classic at 320kbs and sound very good. -- kh6idf kh6idf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16848 View this thread:

Thanks for the info, kh6idf. Can you tell the difference between the Linn 320 and the Rhapsody 192? -- basslover basslover's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38572 View this thread:

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Can Squeezebox play streaming radio at 320 kbps?

I have a Squeezebox Classic. I'm using its digital out to play through the DAC on an NAD C565BEE CD player. I seem to recall a while back being told by Logitech that no matter how high the bitrate on the internet radio station, the Classic will stream at 192 kbps max. I see now that Linn has

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Can Squeezebox play streaming radio at 320 kbps?

It should work. Have you tried it? The Squeezebox Classic can't resample Mp3 to a lower bitrate, and there would be no reason to do so on the player. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile:

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Can Squeezebox play streaming radio at 320 kbps?

I don't have access to the Squeezebox for a couple of days, so I haven't tried it yet. I was wondering if I have something to look forward to! Also, I vaguely recall being told a while back that the bitrate displayed on the Squeezebox might not be accurate at higher bit rates. So I was

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Can Squeezebox play streaming radio at 320 kbps?

I just searched Shoutcast for '320' and saw some odd stations that had '320kbps' in the name... chose one at random and it's playing. No clue what it is, ETR.FM... but it works fine at 320kbps. -- snarlydwarf

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Can Squeezebox play streaming radio at 320 kbps?

Thanks for checking! Assuming you're on a Squeezebox Classic or something that would produce a similar result to the Classic, this is great to hear. Is the sound quality better? -- basslover basslover's Profile:
