Yep...I did things backwards and Googled that AFTER I stupidly
questioned it in public. :)
But I still wonder what really comes out of the digital output. I
started using the optical output on a
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaserDisc#cite_note-AllforMP3-26
NTSC discs have a 44.056kHz audio track.
Transporter (modded) -> RG142 -> Avantgarde Acoustic based 500VA
monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakers

That's the first time I've ever heard that. My inner skeptic wonders how
that would work when plugged into equipment expecting 44.1 and why an
oddball sample rate like that
Well, I'll be darned. I'm not sure what happened with my previous tests
of the sample rate, but after some more futzing with Audacity it appears
that the Transporter can play the music just fine.
I'm not sure if this was user error, but I did discover some curious
inconsistencies with how
I only had speed problems on my Transporter when trying non-standard
samplerates like 64kHz. These files play fine in foobar.
I can only guess the upsampling leaves some PCM header that it
misinterprets while i don't know the header ever reaches the player
because LMS sends the music only.
Since

I have plenty of mono flac's which play perfectly on my Transporter, so
I don't think double speed and one channel is related.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Mac optical input is the source of the
issue. I doubt it understands 44056.
Worst comes to worst you can record the LD analog output.

Thanks for the details re: Transporter playback. This gives me some
evidence that the sample rate is the issue, and I'll keep looking in it.
More to come.
Re: ripping LDs, yes, I just connect a TOSLINK cable from the optical
out on the back of the LD player to the audio input on my Mac Mini.
I'm curious, you don't hear much about LDs these days; how are you
"ripping" them? LD digital output to USB audio interface?

It's good for 16/24-bit at 44100/48000/88200/96000.

That's correct. I've re-opened an upsampled file and confirmed that
it's indeed 44.1 kHz.
Does the Transporter have an issue with files that aren't at 44.1 kHz?
megarat's Profile:
By opening, changing sample rate to 44100, and saving, right? Should
work.
You might try a different converter such as foobar2000.

How are you converting then to redbook?

Greetings, I hoping that one of the experts here can help me with a
long-standing issue.
In a nutshell: I have some music files that play fine on a Squeezebox2
and a Squeezebox3, but when I play them on a Transporter, they play back
twice as fast. And I mean that quite literally: the music
18 matches
