AlienBBC (via mplayer) resamples to 44.1kHz PCM, does this mean this wouldn't work? Should we think about changing to 48kHz? Nei -- Neil Sleightholm ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com

Well, it would seem to me that as record decks were sensitive to vibration, this idea then carried over to cd players (which may be effected, due to the moving parts) and then onto other audio equipment. However, I did read somewhere once that capacitors can be sensitive to vibration - movement

Would guess 99% percent of people buying soundbridge don't want to know about bits. Roku knows their market. If someone cares about sound quality enough to look at what the products really offer they wouldn't be buying soundbridge anyway. 48k is not going to be a problem for them. They just
