Only for >24/48 material, which needs to be downsampled by SOX on the server for the SB3, but can be played natively on the TP. For <24/48 the processing should be identical. I assume you are running a recent server version? This all changed in 7.2.x Prior to that, SOX was not used. If you are just using <24/48 it shouldn't matter what server version you are using. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
