Okay, thought I would share my research on this issue. Slim device has released some interesting updates that will benefit the use of the SB2/SB3 to the original question on bit streaming. Old version 7,2 would only allow 24/48 to pass when downloading Hi-res 96/24 music such as from HDTracks. However if you download the newer version 7.3.2 from Slim Device this will up sample as high as 24/192 over in FLAC using a player such as Media Monkey.
Squeeze box classic 3 vs. Slim Device Transporter.
I presently have a Squeeze box classic 3 digital output to a Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21, which up samples to 24/192. I am curious to the fact that the Slim Device Squeeze box classic 3 past up to 24/48khz. were the Slim device Transporter is 24/96khz. and downloading 24/96khz HD music such as Chesky recording will affect my music in my present setup. Is it required to upgrade to a Slim Device Transporter. Please provide feedback.

Hi Audiowoman. You need to check your version in Squeeze center settings click on the toolbar under "information" if you already have 123 version than you are setup for 7.3.2 To check out the benefit that might suit your needs and desires you can find out on http://wiki.slimdevice.com/index.php/Release_Notes#7.3.2_Release_Highlights Happy audio listening. |
SB2, 3 and duet will only support up to 48/24. The newer software utilizes SOX, which will down convert higher sample rates. The only SB device that allows native sample rates higher than 48/24 is the Transporter. Go here for more information. Believe me, I wish achieving higher sample rate playback via my SB Duet was as simple as a software update its not. |
