One can easily imagine what browsing performance would be like if viewing metadata for each and every album required a round-trip over the network!Īs I understand it, you are both partially right and just a little wrong.

I would further assume that SlimServer builds its own optimized index structure from the metadata as each file is added to the library rather than opening each individual file as the user browses. It wouldn't seem to make much sense to decode at the server only to have to re-encode to send across the network. Am I correct? The server would need to read the metadata to allow display and selection at the receiver, but the actual audio is streamed in its encoded(WMA/AAC/MP3) format without any manipulation. It would seem that the SlimServer streams content to the receiver without manipulating the data at all.

I'm not sure about the impact of any PC settings on delivery of bit perfect content with Slim Devices' architecture. Sadly no, as the Roku performs an unnecessary sample-rate conversion to 48kHz on all CD-standard data and does this with limited precision: see my review findings at I think both the Logitech Squeezebox and the Apple Aiport Express, both of which have true bit-transparent digital outputs, do a better job than the Roku. Is this setup a bitperfect transfer of data from my hard drive to the DAC? I use the S/PDIF out on the Roku to my coaxial input on my Musical Fidelity A324 DAC. My Roku is connected to my wireless router via ethernet cable. Probably not, but I must admit I am not familiar with the operation of the Realtek Audio Manager.Īlso, I use a Roku M1001. Can Windows still affect the digital data? Under the Realtek Audio Manager S/PDIF output sampling rate is set to 96kHz and output source is set to digital. on both WMP and the Realtek Audio Manager on my PC. Based on some of the posts to this forum I have disabled all equalizers, etc.

I am still not clear on the ability of a Windows Media Player based music server to pass digital audio data without affecting the data in any way.
