Setting Transporter to Slave for World Clock Input

[vpnogueira]

I think so too. There are some intermittent issues going on. Also from achri-d's symptoms it seems there were things inconsistent from one run to the next.

It is possibly related to this bug, although it may have nothing to do with word clock input per se: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4834

Dear Sean Adams,

Is it possible to transfer high def audio 24/96 from the Transporter to EMM Labs DCC2 SE?

Thanks,

Vicente

I tested Transporter feeding EMM XDS1 via AES/EBU without any issues.

Hello Michael,

Thank you! This is great news.

How much better is the XDS1 receiving 24/96 instead of 16/44or48? Would you mind sharing the settings you use in the EMM Labs and Transporter when feeding it 24/96 with AES/EBU?

How much better is the XDS1 or DAC2 compared to the DCC2 SE, do you know? I am wondering if it is worth the upgrade to the DAC2.

Thank you in advance. You certainly have a fantastic equipment and music.

Cheers,

Vicente

Comparison of 16/44/48 to 24/96 has more to do with the quality of recordings. There are certain 16/44 recordings that are better than these in 24/96, however nothing can be compared to the best 24/96 recordings and XDS1 is quite good at that (it should be for its price)!

Would you mind sharing the settings you use in the EMM Labs and Transporter when feeding it 24/96 with AES/EBU?

I do not remember any particular settings, as far as I remember it is plain plug-n-play

Do not know, sorry

Dear Michael,

Thank you very much!

I contacted EMM and now have the settings right.

If you don't mind me asking for more of your experience, do you still use the Logitech Transporter with your EMM Labs? If so, is it standard or modded? If modded, by whom? I have seen at least four Mods for the Transporter (in this case, of course no need for a Mod in the Dac or clock portion), but I was wondering if I a Mod would improve the sound.

Cheers,

Vicente

Hi Vicente

The EMM is of my friend, not mine.
My Transporter is modded (by another friend), but if you're going to use it solely as a digital transporter, then it is absolutely useless.

Hello Michael,

I have been trying to find the best way to feed the EMM labs using music files from a computer, and using the EMM as master clock to minimize jitter. I tried feeding the EMM labs DAC connecting it to an apple TV (with itunes and WAV files) through a Hdmi to spdif switch/converter, but the sound is substantially inferior to the DAC connected to a levinson 37.

Reading this thread I was under the impression that since I can feed the EMM Labs DAC using the Transporter and feeding the clock from the EMM to the Transporter would minimize jitter, this would be the best solution. I would then connect the transporter to a mac running Amarra (which supposedly is better than itunes).

So, I don't understand why you say using the Transporter as a digital transport would be useless. I understand it is quite important to use the EMM Labs DAC clock as the master clock and I am not aware of any other solution that would benefit from that. Is there a better way?

Thanks again. Sorry if I am asking too many questions. I am trying to get this right.

Cheers,

Vicente

Modding Transporter solely for digital transport purpose is useless, as it is already very good (as digital transport)

Transporter can only be connected to Logitech Squeezebox Server through the Ethernet (or wireless) link

FYI:
The friend with the EMM player bought Weiss INT202 to use with his Mac.
If you're thinking of using Mac/Amarra as source, you shall consider it as well..
