I have a Logitech Transporter SE and I'm trying to use it as a converter

The only output I can seem to get that's a digital signal via AES/EBU is
streaming input from internal sources like LMS, Pandora, etc. It

There is a huge difference between the SB1 and the SB2 digital outputs.
On the SB2 the left music channel always goes to the left, the right
music channel always goes to the right. On the SB1 the channels get
randomly swapped. This is apparently a feature of the Micronas chip
used in the SB1 and
First post from a long time lurker
I have an SB2 in use with a Denon AVR1906 and an SB1G languishing in a

I was thinking of getting something like a DACMagic or Beresford DAC to

If you're happy with the SB2 analog output why not just get a new player
instead of using the SB1probably cheaper than the DAC's you
mentioned.

Sean, is it possible that the FS bit is being output incorrectly on his

44.1kHz and plays properly, but status bits 4.0-3 are set incorectly
and showing 32k in the stream. Yes this usually follows the stream

It's not playing at 32KHz! I assure you it is actually running at 44.1,
but displaying the wrong frequency for some reason.

You might also try 'Digital Output Level Is Fixed' in Player

I am sorry for the confusion Sean, I believe that it is running at 44.1.
I was just saying that not having heard anything sampled at 32khz I
would not know for sure what it sounded like if it was. But it sounds
good, so I believe it is not running at 32, just not being displayed
correctly.
I do not know a whole lot about DACs, do you have a suggestion for how I
can track down the issue? Thanks for the response.

How did you rip your files? I have 2-SB3s and a Transporter and have
never seen this... I only use the digital outs. However, if your files
are at a sampling rate of 32kHz, then the digital out will match, just
as playing back a 48kHz file spits out a 48kHz sampling rate from the
SB3. Same
I have ripped them to apple lossless using iTunes. I assumed that the

It will be 44.1kHz. You'd have to really go out of your way to change

There is no way that the DAC is actually running at 32KHz. The question
is why is it _displaying_ that sample rate. I don't know... I am sure
that we report our sample rate correctly.
