Thanks to everyone for replying. Bottom line: it's definitely psychological. I listened again and again, and you really can't tell the difference (because there isn't any). By default the Server compresses the WAVs to FLAC for transmission and then decompresses at the Player end - so in both cases FLACs hit the Player just the same.
A difference I did experience, however, was by putting in a $13 Hosfelt Power Supply (incl. shipping). I simply cut off the plug from the stock PS and attached it to the Hosfelt (make sure you've got the polarity right if you try this). Small, but worthwhile, improvement. I'm running SlimServer 6.2.1 with Firmware 29. It all sounds quite nice. Impressive device, no doubt. -- MusicMonkey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MusicMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3875 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20995 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
