Right then, what shenanigans!
First of all the 24/88.2 files play slowly on the SB3, sent FLAC-FLAC.
Sending via wav gets white noise. MP3 works, which hardly solves the
problem.
The files play fine on foobar; everything (inc DBPowerAmp) reports them
as 24/88.2.

When used as an outboard DAC, you must use Transporter's word clock
output capability if you want to get all the benefits of its internal
clock. If the clock is recovered from S/PDIF, there is no added

The files are WMA VBR98 and a few are lossless. It isn't a big deal. I'm
just wondering if we can config the SB3 to spool up more than a couple
of files. I'm not experiencing any dropouts.

I have a mod that will make jitter inaudible. It is called a

I've seen this with all music, the display appears to show the buffer
dropping to zero at the end of a track, then refilling as the next one
plays. Seems unlikely this would be the actual behaviour as it negates
the point of pre-fetching?

No - they vary. Some are 88.2, some 96. 88.2 generally would seems to
make more sense for CD mastering, I would have thought.
