Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter not playing large (24/96) files properly

I bought some commercial 24/96 files two days ago (Grateful Dead RFK Stadium 1989) that my Transporters would not play at all. Well, I went ahead and used dbPowerAmp to "convert" FLAC to FLAC (level 5), and now they play completely fine! I just thought I'd bump this thread in case it helps

Nice it worked! The bitrate and blocksize and the number 4608 does have nothing in common. It is a pure coincidense. 24bit 96kHz has a bitrate of 4608kbps. flac compresses into frames of a steady blocksize that has a maximum of 4608 samples per block for sampling rates up to 48kHz. This was used

If these files are flac you may try to recompress them with a blocksize of 4096 that is default for recent flac versions. I had files compessed with level 8 and a blocksize of 4608 that stuttered. If it still stutters use a lower compression level like 6 or 5 that is default iirc. Transporter

try a xlinx reset. remove power from transporter, point remote at transporter holding down the "1" key, and reapply power. When you see the message about "xlinx" reset on the transporter screen, you can quit pressing the 1 key. let transporter reboot. You won't lose any settings doing this.

This is weird, and recent. I have 2 Transporters. The newer one (and the one in the far room) won't play certain hi-def files properly. There is massive distortion and the 2 players get out of sync. I've tried a switch from wireless to ethernet but that does not solve this. However, if I
