Squeeze box classic 3 vs. Slim Device Transporter.
SqueezeCenter down converts the signal to 24/48 with the SOX software for SB2/3 & Duet; SOX does a very good job of down converting (the sample rate is not decimated). Keep in mind that 24/48 is still a real improvement over 16/44.1, while the... 
I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did
Tvad - I appreciate your hopefulness, but as they say..."don't hold your breath!"The worst part here, for me, is that I still buy/try the stuff (with limits - no footers costing $266/ea). At least, if I was experiencing the placebo effect, I would... 
I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did
I thought you were genuinely open minded on the topic, but it appears I was mistaken. Your latest post suggests that you are of the opinion that people who hear changes are kidding themselves...that they are self delusional.And here I thought my s... 
I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did
Look, here's the deal; on so many of these "tweaks" there's no way to do a true A/B comparison. With the copper coupler, at least you can instantaneously compare between - the coupler installed, or uninstalled, by sliding it on or off during the s...

Squeezebox Mods Effective On Digital Output?
Oooops...Geez Mapman, I have too many threads open. I actually just answered you (above) based on the tread I began on WiFi. If you read the above post, you were probably scratching your head....dooooouugh!It's late here! 
Squeezebox Mods Effective On Digital Output?
Mapman, I'm not having any issues with my WiFi, I just wasn't sure - after reading what I mentioned above, whether or not I was "streaming" the full 24/48 sample rate. Evidently, from what I'm reading, I have in fact been receiving the full sample... 
Squeezebox Mods Effective On Digital Output?
Thanks Cruz123. The Bolder mods are less expensive than a good re-clocker and I tend to agree with your opinion regarding jitter. I did contact Wayne, who said he was initiating a price increase at the end of this month. I don't know if my budget ... 
Squeezebox Mods Effective On Digital Output?
Cruz123Your experience is very pertinent to my current quest. Really, all I want to do is take the Duet to a higher level of performance (and not just measurements on paper). I have been considering the Bolder mods, but the Robr45’s input regardin... 
Wi-Fi Limitations and Sample rates...16/44.1
Thanks Blindjim. I'm going with the Mapman's take on this matter - If I experience no dropouts and the music being played sounds fine, I will assume that I am hearing the entire sample rate of the file being played (with exception to the limitatio... 
Anyone else in my shoes? Ears going.........
I have read that tinnitus is a result of your brain compensating for the frequencies that you have lost the ability to hear, hence the high frequency ringing. I figure if my brain is compensating for the loss subconciously, and the tones are actua... 
Wi-Fi Limitations and Sample rates...16/44.1
This is excellent - thank you all, for clearing that up. After reading that, "...most WiFi routers are limited to 16/44.1..." I was concerned that all of my 24/48, 24/96 downloads, not to mention the additional cost, had been in vain. My music ser... 
Squeezebox Mods Effective On Digital Output?
I would look into a good reclocker before dumping a lot of money into sb mods.Run with that thought Robr45...put some meat on them there bones!Which re-clocking devices work with the SB Duet; does re-clocking the Duet require a mod, or can you buy... 
I'm beginning to wonder...
Clever Albert!
