It's quite simple. Set as follows:
FLAC FLAC - Disabled
FLAC MP3 - Disabled
FLAC PCM - FLAC
The last line must be
FLAC WAV - FLAC
in older version than 7.4.
The effect is that FLAC will be decoded by SqueezeCenter and streamed
as PCM to the TP instead of streamed as FLAC to the TP and decoded
Well after all these months and thinking of what to do I tried ripping a
few CDs into AIFF. Why AIFF? It's uncompressed and has some metadata
support. Before I could not tell the difference between FLAC and MP3.
Now I can't tell the difference between the SB3 and CD. From what I've

Through Stax headphones the sound from my dvd /cd player, and the
wireless SB3, both digitally into my dac is identical.

I agree with iPhone completely. Our brain is pretty good at noticing
differences between 2 different sounds, but it isn't very good at
judging the quality of a sound without a reference for comparison. My
system has more of a warm tonality to it. When I inserted the Mark
Levinson DAC into the
Well you're not comparing apples with apples, since the AES/EBU input
may exhibit different jitter and signal recovery properties to the
spdif input.
In every experiment I've tried - including some seriously expensive CD
transports - a spdif-spdif comparison into the same dac, with same
cable,
This sounds very similar to my own experience. Different equipment but I
introduced the SB3 as a transport and compared it with my well-loved CDT
each going into the same well-loved DAC.
The old CDT trounced the SB3 on short or long term listening. Despite
same cables, same DAC etc etc.

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out what the weak spot is in my
system. Right now I'm ripping my CDs in FLAC through EAC. I'm using
CDex to rip the CDs into MP3s at 320 as well. From what I hear, I
can't honestly find the difference between the two even though FLAC is
supposed to be
The FLAC file played through the SB3 SHOULD sound the same as the CD
transport.
And I think anyone would find it difficult to tell the difference
between the FLAC and a 320kb/sec MP3 - they should sound close to the
same.
The only problem seems to be why does the CD transport sound
I had very similar experiences. First, my hearing isn't as good as it
used to be, but I cannot tell any difference between Flac files and
compressed files greater than say 180 Kbps.
Secondly, I compared the SB3 with a Mark Levinson DAC to a low end DVD
player with the Mark Levinson DAC. To my
