Thanks JHM731... Your comment allowed me to get the 24/96 output from the toslink connector to the Lexicon. I did look for that, but assumed it would have been a system preference as opposed to a utility. Still cannot seem to get the hi-rez to the transporter though... -- rhodyavphile -

One reason I have both foramts is to use the m4a files on my ipod. But I do not really care whether I use the FLAC or iTunes library for Slim. I was running into challenges trying to set the music directory up without using iTunes. I am not a Mac guy by definition, but wanted to start playing a

When you say: "do I need to use Apple formats for iTunes usage", are you trying to load an iPod with iTunes? or are you just interested in slimserver usage? Like yourself, I've had problems with 24/96 files and iTunes. As a result, I'm currently storing my HiRes stuff as .wav's (I'm running XP,

I have recently purchased a Mac Mini to serve as my slim server and have seemed to run into an issue with 24/96 files, either m4a or AIFF. First question is, do I need to use Apple formats for iTunes usage? Secondly, if so is the intel base Mac Mini just incapable of what I am trying to do? I c
