Squeeze box classic 3 vs. Slim Device Transporter.

The 24/96 tracks from HDTracks sound quite good on my Transporter. To my ears 24/96 is a palable step up from Redbook.

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 difference between 24/48 and 24/96 is probably very marginal (audibly). The Transporter does handle 24/96 natively, but if you do go with a Transporter, your WiFi router will need to be 802.11G/N to pass 24/96.

Well done. I think we all pretty much covered that rant. I must confess to deriving a little entertainment pleasure by “stirring the proverbial kettle.” To a point, that is healthy. Hopefully, no one feels tread upon. Remember, doubting someone’s claims, or even a mild insult in jest, is by no means an attack on anyone’s integrity. I enjoy everyone’s contributions on Agon.

Thank you 2chniben for such a great explanation.

That's it. I'm giving up self medicating. My last reply to this post (above) was intended to be submitted to a different thread – not this one. My apologies to Adiogalore. By all means do carry on here without me.

So sorry.....
