If only they had a clean digital way of getting data into the system.

- inigyou 2mo agoListen, you do not want your firmware to be updated by playing a FLAC file.
- _joel 2mo agoFLAC? That shows some degree of advanced technology that I would assume the original device in question does not have.
- inigyou 2mo agoIt's "digital audio gear". It receives uncompressed PCM, which could come from your computer playing a FLAC.
- _joel 2mo agoright, so a very specific case of playing FLAC via an external device, not on the system itself. Ok, that makes more sense. Still don't get what the issue is. Put the device in the correct mode and play from whatever digital input or playback (CD, DAT etc) the system already has.
- inigyou 2mo agoOkay, if there's a button you have to hold to enable firmware update then it's more sensible. Probably still wouldn't want to use digital audio input though. Although it's a perfect digital stream, it's been processed in analog-like ways before it gets to the device - such as filtering and volume changes. So you'd still want to use a modem protocol over it.
