First of all: WAV means: transport twice the number of bits over the network which causes twice the load in all your network interfaces (NIC, buffers,...). If you use WiFi it also means: decrypt twice the number of bits, a process that needs much more CPU cycles than the simple FLAC decoding.
I have made measurements on the load but not on the effect on sound, my output was through an asynchronous USB DAC, there probably was no difference at all. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and *New: Logitech UE Smart Radio* as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99088 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
