24bit files on transporter are stuttery

[mudlark]

I have two SB3s and they play the files fine as does vlc through my computer to my AV dac.

The transporter plays all my 44.1kHz files fine????

[andyg]

SB3 plays them fine, but your TP doesn't? Very weird. Can you think of any difference there? How about getting a log file with player.source set to debug, that might help.

Lots of this andy

How is the wiring to the Transporter set up? Just a single patch cable between the switch/router and Transporter, or do you have in wall wiring and wall jacks and patch cables? If it's not a firmware or software problem, then you have to start suspecting the network.

I think the first thing I'd do is reboot the router and the Transporter. If that doesn't help, start looking at your wiring. Try moving the Transporter to near the router and use a single known-good cable between them. Also try using a different port on the router.

Are you syncing the Tp with another player ?

[mudlark]

the transporter is one switch away from the server.

The transporter plays fine through my av amplifier?? (This is pro logicing it!

I am beginning to think it is the DAC that is the problem although it does play some 24/48 flac files.

[mudlark]

the optical output won't lock onto the dac.

the phono output from the transporter works fine.

does this point to the spdif transmitter (or whatever it's called?)

I'm struggling to post a useful part of the log...

I'm not sure anyone caught the fact that you're using an external DAC. Does the Transporter play these same files successfully if you listen to the analog output?

[mudlark]

Yes it plays fine through the analogue output.

The non locking onto the opticla input on the dac is now suggesting to me that it's the dac. I've removed it from the system to do some more careful tests. Hold on for the next installment....

In the meantime, thanks very much for all your patience.

I will put together a better log file as well as I am having problems with the file size.

I may ask if I can upload to the ftp site.

[JJZolx]

I doubt that the server log can lend any useful information for a problem that exists between the Transporter and DAC.
