LMS with HI-end Streamer+Dac

[bunkertoy]

That's great to hear. perhaps we all fall down the rabbit hole in search of some sort of perceived perfection. Just noticing more 192Khz files out there. Does the Transporter just down convert those files to 92Khz ?
I've found this thread very useful, always appreciate the input.
Cheers...

Great stuff guys.Streamer on its own, probably best approach and spending the cash on a DAC only might be a better. I'm just thinking down the road sampling more high rez files, as the Transporter only supports 24/96. I've done some research the last few weeks on a PI player. I would get the Allo Digi...

Hi all, another inquiry.
I've been looking into higher end DACs, perhaps replacing the Bel Canto 3.7. As I search and browse many great DACs, I'm noticing lots of DACs incorporating a Streamer in the same box.
Was recently drooling over the Cary Audio DMS-600 Streamer/Dac. I'm loving the...

Thanks for the insight Sgmlaw.

Cheers, my DAC seems to readout the correct Flac bitrate. I should have left it alone. Sometimes reading the forums gets you tweaking stuff. All the best.

I've since been unchecking and changing settings...Default is a CHECKED box of "Prefer Native format" and FLAC selection is "Native" ? correct and many thks

[bunkertoy]

Also noticed a checked box Prefer native format (decoding on the player) whenever possible. I'm thinking this is supposed to be unchecked ?

Hi All, Didn't want to set a new topic, as this question is in line with what I want to ask.....In settings ->Server->File Types, under File Format I have a couple of options for my FLAC files.
Either NATIVE or Disabled. I play mainly FLAC files ranging from 44.1/48./96.0 and some MP3 @320Kps....

Also a Transporter owner. Bought mine about 8 years ago. Also have 2 Duets. I only really started digging deeper into the functionality of these systems. Every time I look at other streamers, they just don't cut it compared to the Transporter. I truly love this device. I also have it hooked up to an...

I did eventually go with an external DAC. I got a Bel Canto 3.7 dac(worth $5000 in its day). I'm using the AES/EBU output on the Transporter. I recently read that the designer suggests using the coaxial output instead of the AES. My Bel Canto also has BNC connections. not sure if I'll notice a sound...
