Could you not just use something like mediamonkey?
It is good enough for some quite seriously high-end users and producers
of hi-res music:

This doesn't make sense to me. As long as there is at least a small

the dynamic range, which in effect is undoing some of the compression?
DBX range expanders
I don't think that's gonna happen.
It contradicts the whole concept of getting the audio away from the
computer.
That's what the SBs and Transporter are all about.
Also, Logitech is a hardware company that makes peripheral devices, not

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a dedicated sound card, as it's
kind of the opposite of what they do here. That said I'd vote for an
enhancement request that SqueezePlay become ASIO aware (even though I
don't have a sound card that can avoid resampling to 48kHz, or know
much about ASIO in

Anyway, I'm considering switching from X360 to Squeezebox for these
reasons :
-X360 is noisy
-You can't control the X360 w/o turning the TV on.
-X360 doesn't decode FLAC
-There's not much you can configure about the way

No ram, it was not just one machine, but blades in a single rack. 704 or
some number close to that of RAM. Many many terabytes of disk all RAID,

Blades, as you say: A single OS (AIX) with about 10-15 virtual
