There are additional plugins that can be used to up sample or down sample the signal, but Reaper is just a DAW (digital audio workstation) It’s basically a patch framework where you can use all your recording and editing tools. Reaper will handle whatever signal it is fed.

To use Reaper software to its best advantage (eliminating the signal loop, yielding a straight through path) must the files be 192 kbps or will Reaper handle the above and pass them to the DA component for a digital crossover?Ī. If someone would run an experiment on this that would be interesting.Ĥ. That’s just the way I do it, I’m not saying it’s a better way. I store my Red Book CD’s as WAV, then up sample them on playback within J River on the digital music server. My guess is it would make no difference, but I don’t really know. I’ve not heard if there is a difference between storing as up sampled or storing as WAV and playing back up sampled. Sure, but I always do the up sampling as a component of the playback. Regardless of any future considerations of higher res AD/DAs, why not store the files at 192 kbps since a higher resolution file would be converted anyway?Ī. I noticed you store your audio files as uncompressed WAV to the digital music server.

(bringing signal into the PC from an outside source)ģ. Like I said though, the volume control is a bit clumsy when running the signal this way. I know for a fact that Thuneau can do it, as I’ve done so myself. Essentially, Thuneau or any other speaker crossover software can do this. Assuming a positive answer to question 1 above, if playing an external source, can the system also serve as a digital music server and multi-way speaker crossover simultaneously.Ī.

Other soundcards may add more or less lag than this, but most pro cards will be 64 cycles.Ģ. If you are bringing audio into the PC only, there are only 64 cycles of lag, which cannot be seen by the naked eye, this lag is added by the ASIO software soundcard of an Echo Audiofire 8 or 12 for example. If using J River and playing through the software audio sync issues can be fixed using the included FFdshow component, which lets you adjust either way for lag. There’s no need to send it to the HTPC or digital music server. You would send video straight to the HDTV set. It’s easier to play the file or DVD, or Blu Ray from the J River software straight into Thuneua using Reaper as the conduit, (once its setup) its cleaner too and keeps jitter to a minimum by not sending audio over cables any more than necessary.ĭ.

If playing back via J River, J River itself can control the volume using up to 64 bit math. It works, but it’s a bit clumsy in my experience. You would have to use the sliders on the Thuneau control panel. In the above example, you would have no way to control the volume by remote. (Easy to correct if using a receiver to power the speakers from “multi channel ins” (more on this in a bit) The only thing missing in this example is a volume control. (you do need a multichannel soundcard for each ‘way’ of the speaker system)ī. Thuneau will read the signal and then send the crossover legs to the analog outputs that you assign. You can do this with analog inputs too, such as from your LP preamp, you’ll just have an additional A to D conversion taking place. If you want to use a software speaker crossover like Thuneau, you just tell Thuneau Allocator to take its input from the digital ‘ins’ that you connected your outside source to initially. Just plug into the digital inputs on your soundcard and make sure your sample rates match up.

But if you want to bring an outside source into a PC it’s easy enough to do. J River may be capable of taking an outside input, I’ve just never tried. There are a number of ways to get audio from an outside source into a PC. Yes this can be done, but I don’t think you will need to use J River in this process. Can the HTPC and J River digital music server software simply play an external audio source, such as, mp3 player, CD/DVD player, SAT/CABLE box ? Does video pass through the HTPC also, and what about audio sync?Ī. and here’s some older unanswered questions I’ve thought of….ġ. Thanks for the new pages… they provided answers and raised questions…. “Hi, I’m Dave Ru from Palatine, IL got a couple questions for you regarding HTPC playback, J River Media Center and digital software crossovers.” This is more than just digital Music Servers, Dave asks some excellent questions about the industry, LP playback systems, music servers, digital audio processing and more… In lettered sections below are my responses. The following article is a set of questions submitted by one of our readers regarding the Digital Music Server and its viability in the marketplace in italics are Dave’s comments and questions. Analog sources, passive crossovers, the LP record? (And a lot more)
