Sorry, but my server is NOT transcoding to WAVE. I have disabled that transcode in the FILE TYPES setting of the server and have it transcoding to FLAC or MP3 (for remote streaming). It works great and does peak at approx 1Mbps. I've been using it this way for almost 1.5 years without issue. The only WAVE playback I'm doing is native because I do have some 5.1 mixes still saved that way as AC3 or DTS. I'm in the process of converting those to FLAC as well to save on bandwidth, even though my Transporter is wired. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42736 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
