Like a few others on here I'm looking to replace my squeezeboxes and this looks a very good candidate. I have a Sqzbx Classic, Boom and Touch and they all seem to be a good health - I'm more interested in the Vault at this stage in the hope that it will get rid of the glitches that my computer seems to occaisionally deliver when playing through my SQZBXs and my question is will they all play nicely together? Apprecaite any comments help anyone can give.

Thanks Firedog, I should have been more specific - I was thinking of the appliance, I have a squeezebox 3 hooked up to my Hi Fi and a SQ Boom in the kitchen - both fed wirelessly from my (always on) PC in my study - and it is reported to work very well with both of those. Again many thanks arjaytee

I have seen some "rave reviews" of the above on a UK Magazine website - and it seems very good - does anyone on here have any experience with it?

Hi Chris,<br /> Used your tutorial to rip the various audio files from the Blu ray and it worked fine. Thanks for that!<br /> <br /> I am able to easily rip the audio from my DVDs using DVD Audio extractor - purely so i can listen to what seems to me to be much improved audio quality over my Hi Fi and streaming set up without having to load the disc. I and assumed I would be able to use the same procedure as given for the DSOTM rips to do the same with Blu ray discs but find I can't.<br /> <br /> When I try something similar on my other music Blu rays - it stalls at the step after generating the features list when I click on a "feature" to generate a stream list, nothing happens.<br /> <br /> My understanding of the process is pretty rudimentary so there is probably something here that is obvious to you guys but not I'm afraid to me so some help would be appreciated.<br /> <br /> I'm guessing its something to do with the fact that there are separate audio files in the DSOTM but there do not seem to be in the Blu rays I'm trying.<br /> <br /> The other thing I note is that most of them don't give the number of bits but do give the sampling frequency e.g. when I hover the mouse over the features list I get a box with info such as the following in it.<br /> - Chapters, 31 chapters<br /> - h264/AVC, 1080i60 /1.001 (16:9)<br /> - Raw/PCM, English, Stereo, 48 kHz<br /> - AC3, English, Multi-channel, 48 kHz<br /> - DTS Master Audio, English, multi-channel, 48 kHz<br /> <br /> And all but one of my Blu Rays seem to only have 48 kHz sampling rates - I have one at 96 kHz and the DSOTM. <br /> <br /> Is 48 kHz likely to give any noticeable improvement in sound compared to the 44.1kHz used on CDs?<br /> <br /> Is this typical for Blu Rays in terms of the audio quality - I had assumed they were HD audio but it appears most of them are merely HD video and standard or slightly enhanced audio quality.<br /> <br /> Finally if I was successful would it be illegal?<br /> <br /> <br />

is about 15.43363 feet (approximatley). BUT like the previous answer I wonder why - my understanding is that the the "best " rsults come when the distance between the speakers is about 83% of the distance to the listener So for example if you are 10 feet from the speakers they should be 8.3 feet apart and at a listening distance of 15 feet from the speakers the speakers should be 12.45 feet apart i.e. about twice as far apart as you are suggesting. This is not rock solid and some speakers work better slightly closer and some slightly further apart and there is also the factor of personal opinion or feelings in this but its a good place to start from.

Not strictly on the subject matter and don't know if its available as download but the 2 cellos - 2 classically trained cellists (who are currently touring with Elton John) who play stuff by U2, Nirvana, Michael Jackson and others is definitely worth a listen. Cheers Arjaytee
