So there must be something very wrong with your original switch, if your new router sounds significantly better.
Regarding WAV sounding better than FLAC, this has been discussed before. The only explanation that is plausible is that when the SB3 natively decodes the FLAC, the act itself causes some change in the device's electrical properties that affects sound quality somewhere in your audio chain. Certainly possible, and some swear that it is true, but others cannot distinguish any difference. Personally, I'm skeptical, unless someone can reliably distinguish the difference blind. But if you prefer to transcode to WAV, good for you. No worries. -- jeffmeh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffmeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
