I don't know who you were directing that at, but if it's me, I admit no
such thing. What I admit is that there's a chance (personally, I think
it's vanishingly small, but I am open to real signal analysis proving
otherwise) that the difference in ram and cpu access patterns betweem
flac and wav decoding on the SB2 could cause audible changes, via
interference, when using the internal DAC (digital output - no chance -
I can't see how you could introduce jitter that way). If, as has been
suggested already in this thread, you are doing the FLAC->PCM on the
server side and thus the SB2 is seeing EXACTLY the same data and
handling it in EXACTLY the same way then I contend there is no scope
whatsoever for any difference. Hence, all you get by using WAV is less
storage space and less convenience (tagging).
