I haven't experimented that much because I don't see any good reason not to use lossless files for the SB. I did play with 192 VBR when I was deciding which format to use with my ipod and found it hard to distinguish from FLAC (so that's what I decided to use). My sound card really is pretty crappy - for example there's a high noise floor that depends quite a bit on what the computer is doing - but I'd be surprised if anyone can tell, say, 256 or 320 kbs MP3 from lossless, on a normal musical selection. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32576 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
