G'day hires, 
Welcome !

and thanks for the link smile

I downloaded the Surround 5.1 DTS 24 BIT / 44.1 kHz file ( 87 MB ) and it played back perfectly using XXHE. I have quite a number of surround DTS albums already which XXHE handles seamlessly so it was no surprise that the sample worked as intended. I haven't tried the bulkier files yet though but may do so towards the end of the month if I have some bandwidth spare. ( Yeah I know ... its a pain the way aussie ISP's don't have reasonably priced plans that are truly unlimited, but that's predominantly due to the dominance of our largest telco over here .. grrrr )

Did anyone pickup on the statement in that article "We're only working with Windows XP, because Windows Vista is currently a disaster for audio," says Martin. "Vista tries to control and play files its way, which is not what we want."

They obviously haven't heard of XXHE then. clapping

I'm a little dubious whether distributing those large files across the net is a viable plan, certainly not to regions such as OZ where we have such restrictive bandwidth plans. At around 3.6 GByte for 60 minutes playtime ( WAV @ 24-bit/176.4kHz ) they had also better have some really fast servers to spit the data out. To get that 3.6 GB in 2 hours ( their suggestion ) would need a sustained download speed of around 500 KByte/sec, and that's pretty darn quick compared to most other sites out there. I'll settle for a disc to arrive via post methinks.

Cheers all,

Russ

G'day there Russ,

Sure someone noticed, because I was told before. Where ? I thought on this forum, but I can't find it anymore. Maybe it was PM.
Anyway, I thought to support 96/24 decently first before giving them a call.  HappyHappy

I downloaded the 175MByte 24/96 FLAC version overnight to trial ( http://www.lindberg.no/hires/2L38SACD_tr1_stereo_96_flac.zip )

I expanded it back to WAV using dbPowerAmp and it played fine in XXHE. My Juli@ driver panel indicated it was locked at 96000 and my receiver ( Sony TA-E9000ES ) was showing 24bit @ 96KHz so I reckon all it well.

The exquisite music was the give-away though that it was working as intended smile

This hi-def content is certainly alluring!

Cheers all,

Russ

G'day Leo,

I'm not a huge fan of NIN, but I grabbed the smallest of the tracks ( the first ), and I got the same error message as you experienced.

I cleansed the track by running it through dBPowerAmp ( simply perform a "convert to WAV" function ) and XXHE was then happy.

Give that a try if you haven't resolved the problem by yourself yet.

Cheers,

Russ
