I was just reading the FAQ on the Squeezebox2 and it states:
<<<Squeezebox2 supports MPEG 1/2, layers 2/3, for both VBR and fixed data rates up to 320Kbps (the maximum for MP3). Additionally, Squeezebox2 can play FLAC and Apple lossless encoded audio as well as AIFF and WAV uncompressed audio. This means that the original data from the CD is being played digitally, without any compression or loss of sound quality. The SlimServer software can automatically convert many formats on the fly for playback, including WMA, AAC and Ogg Vorbis.>>>
Does this mean the new slimserver streams the actual
compressed apple lossless files to the squeezebox2
instead of decoding to WAV on the fly and then
streaming???
No, the box does not support native Apple Lossless decoding. However, you will be able to automatically transcode the signal to FLAC on your computer, leaving the original signal untouched, but still getting the bandwidth advantages of lossless compression.
