I think it should be pointed out that, given the way the squeezebox functions, the fact that both formats are lossless, and the way a computer network operates, it's close to impossible for there to be any difference in sound quality. Just about the only way I can see this could happen is due to the processing of the file inside the squeezebox, but I'm very skeptical of that for reasons I can explain if asked.
I'm saying saying this in a friendly spirit, not to criticize or flame you; if you prefer WMA by all means use it. I just feel it's worth pointing out in the context of this discussion. On the issue of volume, I fully agree with the above posters. I've experienced this "louder sounds better" effect many times in my own attempts to do blind tests. I would suggest having your friend try to volume match using the volume control, remembering that even very small differences in volume make a difference. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22457 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
