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 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.....

2chniben, maybe you can enlighten the thought to the original question and that is 24/96 native download passing it through the tri-viasta 21 DAC which up samples to 24/192. Is this just measured/compensated electronically with improved musicality or should I switch to 24/96. I have a choice on the Tri-Vista 24/96 or 24/192. Thank you for your support and thoughts on this issue.
