This does have a big effect on the replay quality.Īh! I remember the "Perfect Sound every time" that Philips came up with when CD was introduced. Also check that the Squeezebox is not recieving RFI from another source. It could be down to lower grade components such as the SP/DIF, Toslink or Clock components. I'd try the Phono SP/DIF although most Toslink connections have a "fuller" sound than the Phono version. You will never get a perfect copy but it should be pretty close unless there is a problem somewhere in the conversion chain. May try using CAT5 and maybe try the wired SPDIF rather than optical.Ah!

#PHILE AUDIO VS EAC PC#
I suppose the actual PC and network makes some difference but, as the datastream is cached before playing and 100% bit perfect, then would this make any difference.
May try upgrading PSU for the Squeezebox though i wouldn't have though this would make a huge difference. The Pioneer was fairly high spec in its day and indeed has the lovely turntable with rubber mat for the disk and weighs a ton! Regarding the processing to 16bit 44khz this is native to CD so no processing should be required in WAV at least. If it's a background player you need then it's OK.Įdited by telecat on Thursday 10th July 10:52I thought the entire point was that using a PC should result in a bit perfect copy and thereby eliminate the errors from reading a disk in real time. In this case The Pioneer is a better "feed" and quality counts. If ultimate Sound quality counts then it isn't.
If the quality output is good enough for you and you need that Mass storage it is a good solution.
I have no doubt it will be very good but it's horses for courses. That means the design is knocking on a bit compared to Modern Disc Spinners as is the "Transporter". And when was this test? Linn haven't had a Two box combination in their product range for an awful long time. The device here is pretty much Basic design. Telecat, the SQB3 is not intended as an audiophile component, thats what the SQB Transporter is for and that, given equal amplification, speakers and wire on a back to back test using the same source material significantly outshone a £4500 Linn Transport/DAC combination.But we are not talking about the "Transporter" A device that costs £1500 and will have had more money spent on the design and components in order to lift it towards "Audiophile" quality.
