Advices for a first time Devialet owner

[archer75]

Another SBT user here. Mine is modded by Bolder Cable (digital mod) and I´m also using BOTW PS and TT 3.0, with a AQ Eagle eye to the Devialet.
I´ve tried other solutions but I must say that the SBT is still going strong, both soundwise but in particular the ease of use. I´m using Ipeng with WIMP plugin and  I´ve had very very little problems with this solution comparing to other ones.
And as a transporter I must say: a very good bang for the buck!

I´m waiting for the Dialog to see what it has to offer compared the the SBT.

I am glad to see many SBT users here. I have some questions;

1- I have just downloaded Ipeng, trying to understand how to use it. Can I run Ipeng without using a computer to run LMS - my music is stored at a NAS which unfortunately can not run LMS itself so I need to use a computer for solely the purpose of running LMS?

2- Do I need to install both EDO and TT 3.0 or just one? I read somewhere that having both may create some conflicts.

3- I see you are using a digital cable therefore you don't have EDO either - which one is a best connection for SBT? If not EDO, I believe it is COAX.

4- What is WIMP plugin for?

1: To my knowledge you need a computer to run Ipeng through LMS. Without computer I think you only can access my squeezebox.com (to access radio etc) and a external hard drive.

2: I have installed both. Though I only use TT 3.0 since I feed the Devialet trough S/PDIF . I haven´t had any complications between, though I have heard about it.

3: I have tried with a standard USB-cable and EDO but found my AQ Eagle eye (coax) slight better. Can´t say with a more expensive USB-cable. I Think this is individual and you need to listen for yourself.

4: WIMP is like Spotify but with uncompressed music (flac). The plugin allows you to control it trough Ipeng.

Hope this clears some questions for you!

Dear Johan,

All clear, thanks.
