Hmm... With a lot of time at home, I was revisiting my surround library and even looking to see if anything new was available to make this work. It seems like it would be nice for LMS to support multichannel FLAC for devices that might have an HDMI connection for instance. Historically, I always went through an effort to convert the files to some DTS format for SPDIF, but in a few cases, the audio was definitely compressed sounding vs the original source (i.e. DVD-A, BR, etc). I feel hokey having to work my surround through a different system if I want to stream it. Actually, it isn't that big of a deal as I can make an mkv file for use in Plex, but then I'm using my TV to listen to music.
Oh well. I have some time now, I might explore what is possible through a Raspberry Pi outside of LMS (at least for the surround files). By the way, there are definitely some albums out there that when listened in surround are awesome. Many aren't, but that's ok. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102992 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
