This is why they don't do in the "embedded system" aka SB3 anymore . But since 7.3 something uses SOX
SB3 supports 24bit 48kHz , I tried my 24/48 files, they do not launch the flac and sox processes in the server. Off topic : the "light" version of the squeezeboxserver would not have sox so the Squeezebox Touch would not do transcoding for older connected players. The Touch itself would not need it as it does 24/96 . I like that approach better, as 24/96 is getting somewhat more common, there could be cases where family members would listen to different 24/96 files at the same time , my rather lightweight server can not run more than one transcoding process at the time . I'm speculating that 3 or 4 parallel transcoding processes would give even a modern 4gHz quad core a headache. So 24/96 in a cheaper players than transporter is good even not considering sound quality. Syncing is no problem sbs is smart enough to use the same stream so server load is decent even syncing 3 players to a 24/96 album -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBRto be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to controll this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
