Update on my conversion utility:
I've written a Python script which can convert an AC3 file to a WAV
file suitable for streaming to an SB2. My recommendation is still that
an AC3 file is pre-converted to WAV, and then to FLAC so that metadata
can be set. However, my utility does estimate the
Just wanted to thank the Slim guys for implementing this so fast. I'm
no techie, but am now feeding my Sunfire Cinema Grand amp directly from
SB2 analog outs, and my system has NEVER sounded so pure. With this
setup, the native SB2 DAC sounds fantastic. Can't even imagine going
with an

SB1 has bit-correct output at S/PDIF output except for a sign reversal
of the samples. I get correct passthrough of DTS wav file if the sign
of the samples is inverted.

Do you mean that, for each 16-bit sample, the top bit needs to be
flipped?

No, change 10 to -10 etc. I guess the wav samples are stored as
2-complement signed integers, so this is not equal to flipping only the
MSB bit.

That would have been my second guess. :D Thanks.

I'm in that same situation right now (I even have the same A/V
reciever). There's a thread about this very topic over on Audio
Circles. Here:

In addition to the aforementioned Radio Shack switch, these two also
came up:
The Fidaudio switch certainly looks audiophile grade, though it
may/may not outperform the Radioshack. Anybody up for more blind
testing g. Anticipating that audiophile friends will scoff at the
Radioshack, I made a label for mine.. El Cheapo Non-Audiophile
Switch.

Nice work!
Is there a good way of tagging the FLAC files to indicate that they
contain DTS or AC3 instead of PCM? If so, then a future firmware rev
could do a couple things:
- set various s/pdif control bits to reflect non-PCM data (not that
