Gosh... you measurement value believers are tough...! Well, if what you see (or hear) makes you happy, there is no point in trying to convince you that there is more you could hear, if you only wanted to open the ears (noooo please don't answer seriously, its not meant seriously either ;-) ) Getting serious again: Even though my fingers get nervous, I won't answer to that argument, because the (obviously other than networking) advantages and disadvantages of FLAC vs. PCM decoding on the Player have been laaaargely discussed elsewhere - and I am not the best expert to develop on technical details, I only use my ears. Just one more word for stop-spinning: Even if you don't use a Touch, but try to sound-wise get the most out of your squeezebox, the sections on network and s/pdif of Klaus' blog might be helpful - to copy or inspire: http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2011/01/soundchecks-squeezebox-touch-toolbox-20.html Cheers! -- diego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ diego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40897 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84903 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
