Audio Quality

[jeffcoles]

Anyone notice a degrade in audio quality in version 62 firmware for squeezebox versus version 61?

The quality of lows and highs are not as good when Squeeze Network updated to version 62. I thought it was my imagination at first, but when I switched to Squeezecenter (which was an older version and updated the firmware of the squeezebox back to firmware 61), I really noticed the difference.

Is there a way for me to get version 61 back when playing on Squeeze Network?

The only real difference I can find with 62 is fixes to the ogg streaming support.

I'm sure the sound difference you hear is psychosomatic.

Give me a break, it is your imagination. Only 1 line of code was changed between FW 61 and 62. There is no change to audio quality.

f/w 14 is the good 'un. On the SB3 of course...

15 actually - that was the "golden" one :-)

I stand corrected

Hey...I don't care how many lines of code have changed. I compared 61 to 62 and on MY SYSTEMS there was a noticable difference (and still is). The noticable difference was for streaming media like Rhapsody and Pandora (which is all I listen to).

So, you can take that info and do what you want to with it....but it is what it is.

One way you could possibly prove your case is to make a recording of each one so others can compare the difference.
