I have been doing some research: LOCAL 96K OR 192K FLAC FILES SERVED BY LMS - Radio, Squeezeplay: LMS down samples using "flac.exe | sox.exe $resample"; audio intelligible; no buffer stalls; I suppose ditto for Duet, Squeezebox - Transporter: LMS just sends the file; audio is intelligible; no buffer stalls; I suppose ditto for Touch REMOTE 96K OR 192K STREAMS SERVED BY A 3RD PARTY SERVER - Radio, Squeezeplay: Audio intelligible; but there are frequent buffer stalls; using direct streaming or indirect (proxy via LMS) makes no difference - Transporter: A 96k the audio is intelligible; no buffer stalls; but at 192k the output is white noise I don't have a Touch so cannot test it. Conclusions: 1) Apparently the newer players have DACs that can handle hi-res audio, but they don't have the buffer capacity for it 2) One oddity is that Transporter can play a 192k Flac served by LMS but it outputs white noise on a 192k Flac from a 3rd party server ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndrewFG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97244 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
