I tried playing a 24/96 free download from Gemmel, hoping that SOX would downsample it - but it didn't. No audio output generated at all! First I tried with the .wma file and get the error: 0277: [09-07-03 16:16:40.7919] Slim::Player::Song::open (341) Error: Couldn't create command line for wma

Anyone tried musicgiants for downloads? They have some DRM free 24/96 and 24/88.2 downloads as well as 16/44.1 WMA selections. The 44.1 downloads have DRM applied but of course, there are ways around that. -- ghostrider

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] How does volume work on spdif out?

2009-07-04 Thread jaffa_777
I was wondering if the squeezebox has true digital outs. How does it control gain/volume to the digital signal. I thought a digital signal out was just pure information of 1's and 0's? But it seems to work as a preamp as well on the digital side? How does this work? Thanks Andrew --
