I did some testing using the 24 bit 88.2kHz wma lossless test file from the Linn site: http://download.linnrecords.com/recit24bit.wma
This file play just fine on my SB3. I had to go into the server settings, file types, and uncheck the windows media-(built-in) check box. The options WAV-wmadec, FLAC-wmadec/flac or MP3-wmadec/lame all play just fine. Both slimserver and the SB3 reports the files as 22.7kHz, but I suspect this is some kind of bug. My guess is that the SB3 drops every second sample and plays these files as 24 bit 44.1kHz. Then I used dbpoweramp to convert wma to wav, I made 3 files of 96, 48 and 44.1kHz. None of these files would play on my SB3 regardless of file type settings, I just got a hissing noise. Last I converted the wav files to flac both using dbpoweramp and the original flac encoder. All of these files played fine using the the FLAC-(built-in) setting, and reported the correct sampling rates. -- Veggen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Veggen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7035 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32951 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
