Hi,

If I stream via the SBT, they play at 48kHz, no matter whether through the optical out or USB out (I installed the plugin).

Does this have a negative impact on sound quality? Can I somehow make the SBT play them at 44.1?

Should play at 44.1. Does the server think they are 44.1 files (click on the file in the web interface and see what the [M] more infomation says)

Yeah, one layer of yak fur coat.

Naa, saving that coat for mid summer ATM we're still wearing polar beer hide.

Yes, it says it's 44.1 - it played them at 48 even before I installed the Kernel/USB extensions, so it can't be those...

Can't figure out why:

It's beautiful no doubt but too cold (and dark in winter) for me. When I was there a couple of summers ago the weather was glorious but it still wasn't warm enough.

Naa, its just you being a soft southern axe murdering puff!

Anyway I always thought I was a poof but good to know I am more akin to a wotsit than gay.

Sod it, can't be arsed to send the SBT back. I'll be able to sell it on for no or little loss even if it is used.

You've taken the scenic route to the bottom of the barrel then?

The bottom of the barrel has the sweetest liquor.

Thats not right - suggest you post on forums.slimdevices.com

Could you try installing the server on a PC to check if this plays them correctly. SBT doesn't natively play apple lossless they are decoded on the server and the synology will be less well tested for this case than a PC. [You could also try a couple of files ripped as flac to prove that you do see 44.1 sample rate]

Is there anywhere I can download a free 24 bit 192 kHz sampled audio file so I can have a listen to it on my SBT via my SD card?

 

[Cereal Killer]

All over the internet! just type this into google; '24/192 flac'

Why not 32bit 384Khz ?

You are right, it's off topic. So this is the last post about it here, especially since I solved the problem.

Thank you for your suggestion, Adrian. Meanwhile I had roughly the same idea and tried it with an sd card. It played correctly, so I blamed the server software. I used telnet to access my NAS (hadn't done it in ages) and had a look at the convert.conf file which contains the transcoder settings. Et voilá: ffmpeg was set to a fixed rate of 48000... I just removed this parameter from the file and now its 44.1 like it should be.

Problem solved.

 

[jonnoshore]

I couldn't play a 24/192 flac on my SD card it wouldn't find it...

 

[Interzone]

Well I opened it. It's a new (unneeded) toy after all, and one I've had before so I guess not really new. Anyway it'll provide me with 5 mins Pleasure setting it up.

Checked out the link but could not find it at this price, have they sold out?
