I just tried it with optical and I'm getting dropouts there too. Someone else mentioned improving the "buffering" capabilities but I have no clue how to go about doing that. When I had the SBT hooked up by USB, the "Digital Output" settings page in the Advanced menu "recognised" my NAD 1050 DAC. If I played a 192 file, the NAD display would "lock in" the signal at 192. Then I would get periodic dropouts but the SBT didn't tell me anything was "buffering". When I connected through optical, I went to the Digital Output menu and selected "Digital Only", which I think is what I'm supposed to select. Again, the DAC recognised the 192 file and the display confirmed it. Then the dropouts start....even more than by USB. This time, the SBT display shows at the top that it's rebuffering, which it didn't show when connected to USB. So, when a previous member suggested that it's a buffering issue, the display seems to be confirming that, at least when connected via optical. So......is there a relatively simple way to make adjustments to the buffering problem? If it's complex, I'll likely get lost. Hmm..I love the way this DAC sounds, but at least my old DAC that maxed out at 24/192 would downsample 192 files and play them without any issues at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tdgruen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
