I don't own a Squeezebox Duet, so I am no expert. The SB Receiver can play MP3 and FLAC files natively (at least FLAC files with stereo audio) and few other less used formats. But when you install Logitech Media Server (LMS) on a server in your network, you can also play AAC encoded audio. In that case LMS transcodes AAC to (for example) FLAC. Also for playing https radio streams and audio streams from online services you will need LMS. So to make the most of your Squeezebox Duet you will need to install LMS, preferably the most recent 8.2.1 or 8.3.0 version that you can download from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/
