Hello Michael,

ad 1. No I did not, actually I thought the -b95 was the default setting
for using rate -v, but I might be wrong.

ad 2.

Code:
--------------------
    
  #flc flc * *
  #[sox]  -v0.965 --buffer 32768  -t flac -r44100 -2 -c2 $FILE$ -t flac -C0 -3 
-c2 -r96000 -D - rate -v
  
  flc flc * *
  [sox]  -v0.965 --buffer 32768  -t flac -r44100 -2 -c2 $FILE$ -t flac -C0 -3 
-c2 -r96000 - polyphase -cutoff 1.0
  
--------------------

Using the polyphase option (sox 14.2) at the moment.

Using -b 24 seems to be unnessecary. You are right sox should not
dither, but it does! You can check this in two ways, either exaggerate
the volume factor (-v5 for example) and you will get dither clipping
errors, proving dither is being applied! Or use -V5 and look at the
debugging output.


Ronald.
