What would be the point? The only difference between PCM and AIFF is the byte order (endianness). Both are uncompressed and the data is identical. I think the reason behind offering both PCM and AIFF streaming options for FLAC and Ogg may have to do with legacy player compatibility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102893 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
