Re: [slim] How to use the Transporter IR input jack?
Well, I'm right handed, and kind of born with two left hands. ;) I suck at soldering things, and lose patience quickly, so I'd prefer something either really simple to build (crafting a jack cable with a couple components should be okay) or ready to use. Thank you anyway! :) Now, if DIY is your thing, could you tell me if I am right thinking that a typical IR receiver uses a three pins layout (power, ground, signal) and that if the Transporter only features a mono jack connection, it would probably only take care of the signal and ground pins? Unless the signal pin could also carry power?

[slim] How to use the Transporter IR input jack?
Hi all, I've changed my A/V furniture lately, and my Transporter is now out of sight. I've been thinking about using its IR input jack to get the IR signals forwarded to it, but the IR cable I already own doesn't seem to get the job done (I had bought it back in the days when I used the IR-Blaster plugin, though, so that's probably an IR emitter rather than a receiver). However, I'm still a bit confused about what kind of montage/cable I should use to reach my goal. Here's what the doc has to say: INFRARED INPUT AND OUTPUT Transporter is equipped with an infrared input for control from other systems (IR repeaters, home automation controllers with IR blasters, etc.) Transporter will respond to signals on this input identically to signals received via the IR receiver on the front panel and can be directly connected to IR transmitter devices via a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable as if connecting to an IR LED dongle. So, it looks like only mono cables are used, although most cables I can find (like 'this one' (http://www.amazon.fr/Servimat-infrarouge-TSV7600HDU-TSF8600HDU-IRSERVIMAT/dp/B00O238O18/)) seem to be stereo. And that's where I'm lost... Can I use a passive cable to forward IR signals to the Transporter? If so, could somebody point me to some possibly cheap cable reference that's known to work? If not, any advice on active IR signal repeaters? Thanks for your insight.

SSODS/SSOTS is a third-party distribution of the server software that's been specifically designed to run on some NAS boxes. Latest SSODS/SSOTS release is 4.14, and supports Squeezebox Server 7.6.1.

Re: [slim] Help about network Receiver configuration
Hi, To configure the Receiver with Net-UDAP, you'll need to have it connected with a wire to your router. Connecting your PC and Receiver together may work, but chances you'll get into problems are more likely. Once Net-UDAP is able to discover your Receiver, you'll have to configure it so that it uses your wireless network. It's up to you to decide whether you want the Receiver connected to your LAN wired or wireless, and whether you'll use the DHCP protocol or provide static IP configuration, but to begin with, I'd go for the simple 'Wireless, 64-bit WEP, DHCP' (http://projects.robinbowes.com/Net-UDAP/trac/wiki/SampleUsage#Wireless64-bitWEPDHCP) route. Basically, you'd just have to change these values from the sample: Code: wireless_SSID=WiFi wireless_wep_key_0=1234567890 squeezecenter_address=192.168.0.2 When you're done configuring the Receiver, it'll hopefully connect to your wireless router, get an IP address from it, and will connect to the Squeezebox Server running on your PC. Your Android phone will only have to be connected to your wireless network. Depending on the controller app you'll use, you may need to specify which IP address the server is using. -- sebp 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/sebp) sebp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11768 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89505 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Phil Leigh;615234 Wrote: It's easy enough to do your own tests... you already have SOX which is capable of high quality downsampling/word reduction. Hi Phil, I had another challenging session last sunday, and I surprisingly had the impression I could hear some differences this time. I couldn't really tell I heard anything missing from the CD version, but the HD file just sounded better to my ears. As I don't trust them, I used Audacity's spectrum analyser with both files, and looking at average gain values for some frequencies, they always appeared to be a bit louder in the HD Version than in the CD version. If you look at the screenshots, you'll see it's 4 dB louder for 100 Hz, for example (-32dB is for the HD file, -36dB is for the CD file). I then computed replaygains using foobar2000, and got -6.40dB for the CD version and -6.02dB for the HD version. So, downsampling 24/96 to 16/44.1 with SoX seems to lower the average gain of the 16/44.1 version a little bit. Is an average 0.38dB volume difference sufficient to be heard? I can't tell for sure, but thought it would be worth mentioning... +---+ |Filename: Shields-16.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11479| +---+ -- sebp 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/sebp) sebp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11768 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85879 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I since have downloaded many other albums from BW's SoS, going from classical to world music, and each time I compared CD quality vs 24/48, I simply failed to tell that one version sounded better than the other.
