It's a great disc spinner. It's a better network player than the 93, but it's still imperfect. It's fussy about what kind of soundtracks it will play from an MKV file, for one thing. And while it will play most of the MKVs I've created from my obsolete HD-DVDs without trouble, it's horrible at playing multichannel FLAC or DSD over the network. I have no idea why, since the video files would be even bigger bandwidth/data hogs. Attempting to play the files via directly attached storage is much better, but the "gapless" playback often still creates audible clicks at track boundaries. But, like I always say, gapless playback has only been around since 1948, so I guess we have to give them time... The one test I did plugging a Pi into the Oppo's HDMI input and playing back multichannel FLAC went well (i.e., no dropouts), though I'll need to spend more time doing that before I can be sure it's OK. 96kHz 5.1 files play as 48kHz, but the same thing happens when I plug the Pi directly into my receiver and skip the Oppo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105018 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
