oh - yes! prior to 7.3.2, 96kHz playback was achieved by dropping alternate samples to get back to 48Khz that the receiver/sb can handle. This is a very crude and audibly bad way of doing things. The means that (before 7.3.2) that a 24/96 file should sound worse than its 24/48 equivalent! In 7.3.2, a new on-the-fly transcoding method for FLAC was introduced, using SOX to correctly downsample to 48kHz. now 24/48 and 24/96 sound identical. I think that in 7.3.1, they took away the "drop alternate sample" method and transcoded 24/96 via lame to 320bps MP3! (this is probably why your files don't play - you need to install LAME.EXE). However - don't do this! Go to 7.3.2 instead and avoid turning high bitrate flacs into MP3! regards Phil -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT 2.2X (Linear PSU) + Good Vibrations S/W - MF Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57413 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
