better because I say so.) The native decoding on the SB2/3 is the reason I use FLAC. That enables FF/RW within tracks, which is a must for me, though I gather others can live without it just fine. -- abdomen abdomen's Profile

to Lossless WMA, am now doing a comparison and there is no question the WMA file DO sound better, treble is brighter and bass more controlled I don’t understand why this is the case but it is a fact …no question. Ps the bitrate is set to no limit. -- abdomen

with each type of power supply. Is jitter reduced for a linear supply? Then we could have a definitive answer, at least, for the digital output. Sean Adams has done some lab work. http://www.seanadams.com/smps_vs_linear/ -- abdomen

CD. I am supposing the drive you are looking at is an external USB drive. In this case, it will be plugged into your laptop, and your laptop will need to be on and running Slimserver in order for you to be able to listen to your music collection. -- abdomen
