the Squeezebox players are suposed to sync better mainly because they are more predicable and the sync code is thoroughly tested with them .
Syncing a real player with a random computer puts in a lot of unknowns that could upsett things , but your are syncing basically the same things it should make it more viable . Skipping , not normal with real squeezeboxes , given everything else works . Squeezeboxes are lossles/bitperfect with such material normally, unless you use volume or replay gain or any transcoding action is needed ,like if a player cant support a certain rate like 24/96 it will then be converted to that rate . Note that synced players use one single stream so it's the least capable player in the group thatÂ’s decide the bit rate limit Lossy formats are faithfully decoded on the player (server does nothing to them ) unless the player cant support it ,then its transcoding again usually to flac to preserve the quality of the lossy format (not transcoding to another lossy format thats bad ) . Replay gain and volume is done in the player after decoding the audio from whatever format it arrived as (afaik) and then feed to the DAC and digital output . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
