I've not got that performance. I have the Talich, Juilliard, and Vegh Quartets. I'm listening to the Vegh Quartet at the moment. > I would be happy if the .flac Files sound the same as the .wav Files > and I see all the advantages of the .flac Files.

Are you streaming flac natively so it is decoded on the SB? Are you streaming wav natively so it is decoded on the SB? You might like to try decoding flac on the server and streaming as wav - some folk have reported that they believe that to sound better than streaming as flac and decoding on the SB.
