I've got no complaint about my Bose QC35s either. The noise cancelling works very well in noisy environments, and it means my dearly beloved can listen to the TV loud in the next room and I can isolate my music adequately. However, in quieter times, I prefer to turn off the noise cancelling,

Indeed, it was a big OUCH when I figured this out. I've just converted to 16/44 using dBPA, and expect that will solve the problem (I'll wait for the nightly rescan). Hadn't picked up Clive's intent in his earlier note (just dumbness on my part), but figured it out last night when I decided to

All my self generated flacs are at L5, and I re-encoded this one at that level. Made no difference, and as noted above made very little diff in file size, so presumably encoded at the same level originally. Yes, logic, which is why I've tried several analytic tacks. It seems likely the problem

I just did a flac to flac reprocessing, made a very slight difference in filesize (about .1%), so the original was probably also at Level 5. After a rescan, made absolutely no difference. Still plays corrupted through the Oasis BT from the Transporter, but fine from the mobile BT; other files

Update -- It appears to be an issue with Bluetooth. I use the Oasis Avantree Plus as my BT transmitter, which is a high-end device that connects to the Transporter through the optical Toslink option. In theory, it's capable of handling hi-res audio (well above 16/44), although my Bose headphones

Will do that. I got it as a FLAC through Bandcamp, so it's not been through my own dbPoweramp process. R. LMS on a dedicated server (FitPC3) Transporter (Ethernet) - main listening, Onkyo receiver, Paradigm speakers Touch (WiFi) - home theater 5.1, Sony receiver, Energy speakers Boom 1

A couple more confusing observations. The problem seems to be restricted to one particular album (although I haven't tried many). It's flac encoded, and other flac and mp3 files play fine. It's only the one album, so far. This is all on the Transporter, just the one flac album won't play,

My Transporter is having some sort of crisis. I was happily playing some music, and at one point the sound just got completely garbled, audible but broken up and distorted. I thought it could be several things, e.g. the bluetooth connection to my headphone (nope, using a radio feed through the

The Foobar and dbPoweramp products seem to be from the same group, playback and management sides of the coin. I've used the CD Ripper for years, still do frequently, but it can't represent much of a revenue stream any more. I'd buy other things if there was a reason. R. LMS on a dedicated

Yes, you can use them wired but that kind of defeats the purpose. These could work, but I'd have to use the cable supplied by Bose as it uses the skinnier jack on the headphones. Depends on the quality of the DAC in the device; the Bose DAC is quite good, I understand, which is why I'm

That, in fact, is exactly what I had ordered from the Canadian Amazon site. My only concern is whether the optical out on the Transporter is volume-controlled, but I figure that if the analog outs are it must be as well. We'll see. R. LMS on a dedicated server (FitPC3) Transporter
