Now that you've solved it, is there a reason you need to do this now? I
just installed the latest slimserver (squeezecenter) last night and it
re-codes flac 24/96 to flac 24/48 on the fly perfectly.
FYI, the latest slimserver added support for resampling on the fly.

If your amp has a volume control, then (generally speaking) you should
not use the attenuation jumpers in the transporter, but use that volume
control instead. This will give you the best signal to noise.

If the psu was directly powering some audio circuitry, one would
typically try to eliminate as much impedance as possible. However, in

Yes the formats are the same except for the electrical connection, and
the channel status bit:
spdif uses 75 Ohm coax (often terminated with non 75 Ohm RCA plugs) or
