24bit/96kHz to Transporter

[Schindler]

Hello, how can I be sure that the Transporter gets 24bit/96kHz Flac music? Not something downsampled?

Thanks.

Try downloading a track recorded in 24bit/96kHz from a site such as https://www.hdtracks.com/

From the WebUI I would believe. I believe one goes to Settings and make sure that FLAC Native is check. The Transporter doesn't need SoX from SBS to play 24/96 files so it probably plays them Native unless you have options set to force something other then expected behavior.

My Transporter plays them Native at 24/96.

Thanks, I have some 24bit/96kHz music, but I can not really hear any difference between songs where I have both versions. So I wonder if really 24bit/96kHz arrives at the Transporter.

Flac nativ is set - so it should be ok?.

Is there maybe a log to enable to see if sox is used?

Are you running Windows? if so you can open Task Manager and see if sox.exe is running while a 24/96 track is playing. It should not be...

Do you have any other SB's running at the same time as the Transporter?

You can also try the following: Now Playing, right arrow, other Information, Bitrate.
Their should be written something much bigger than 1.000 kb/s with 24/96. If it is below 1.000 and you read "Converted to" it is resampled.

christian,using 24/96 khz Flac files here i can clearly tell there is a BIG difference in sound quality from CD Red Book standard files.
what's the rest of your system?.

I've noticed that if I play 24/96 material on Transporter only, it is not downsampled. If my Transporter and Duet or Boom are playing in sync, they all appear to me to be downsampled (bitrate wise). I made this observation when I have "clicked" on "more info" during playback of 24/96 material.

[Aurumer]

Yes, this is right. The bitrate in synced mode depends on the abilities of the weakest part, e.g. the "not" Transporter units.
You can only listen to 24/96 if TP plays alone and unsynced.

Sync'd Players use a single stream, so that means all sync'd player resolutions are that of the highest format playable on the least enabled player. So if any player needs SoX to play a 24/96 file, all sync'd players get the down sampled 24/48 stream whether they can play 24/96 native or not.
