I'm now running what I believe is the final set up for the Barix streams we will be using at NAB for demonstration. They are located at:
http://barix.b2netsolutions.com:8010 (160 kbps high quality MP3 stream generated by an Instreamer 100) and http://barix.b2netsolutions.com:8020 (48 kbps AAC+ stream generated by a Shoutcast encoder).
Ten listeners maximum per stream.
Both have light Breakaway processing on them. The songs are 256 kbps MP3s (or better) and FLAC files.
I'm using Spider player to play and segue the files, which then goes via Breakaway's digital pipeline into the audio processor. The processing was set up by ear over a week period (it's quite light). From there the audio goes to my sound card (M Audio Delta Audiophile 192) whose SPDIF coax output is connected via a Y patchcord to the Instreamer's coax digital input and then back into the soundcard's sp/dif coax input (to feed the Shoutcast software encoder).
Remember to cut and paste the URLs into your player-clicking on them will only display the DNAS information on the streams. Also remember if using Windows media to click on play as soon as the stream(s) begin buffering.
We are running the 48 kbps stream because the new Exstreamer 100s can decode AAC+.
I'm curious as to how you see the sound quality of these.
