This was over my head. But it brought up a few questions ? Knowing that my computer has anything to do with the sound coming out of the system really bothers me. Up until now I thought of the computer and especially the hard drive as merely a glorified CD (just a container of the file type).
Am I to understand that some open source program called SOX with many, many tweakable parameters is doing A/D conversion ? Or any other conversion ? I play almost only FLAC files, but some MP3 files. I noticed the sample rates being in need of conversion in the OP comments here: "SB Server will fill in the %d with either 44100 (if sampling down from 88.2kHz) or 48000 (from 192 or 96). For the Touch, this will only kick in above 96 kHz." I think that FLAC and MP3 do not need conversion. Am I correct in that ? Is this a Linux only conversation or is Windows having anything to do with sampling rates, conversion, etc... as I saw "ubuntu" mentioned in the original post ? thanks, b -- brjoon1021 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brjoon1021's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12136 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84462 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
