Thanks for the response, especially the clarity on whitebear. A
followup question: while iPeng seems a popular choice for controlling
from iwhatever devices, is there a consensus preference for controlling
from Android tablets/phones? I looked around and could not tell what
was really the best

First case: Compared to using LMS from a computer that is running all

do if I don't use whitebear? Same question concerning SSODS. Yes, I've
read what they can do, but I'm not expert enough to translate

For some time, I've been using Squeezeplay as a player on my PCs, using
SBS and later LMS running on my desktop PC with an Ethernet connection
to our router. While it worked in most cases, I had a major problem
with stuttering and rebuffering when playing back 24/88 or 24/96 files,

That's an overly-broad brush

iPeng does only use the HTTP port for control and the Streaming port
(3483) for playback, just like the Squeezebox itself.
It doesn't use the CLI port.
I don't think SqueezeCast is still under a lot of development, judging
by it's update history.
Thank you!!! I had only
The problem is probably that the NAS for some reason can't downsample
from 96kHz to lower sample rates. The older server might not do it at
all and for the newer one the NAS might not be powerful enough.
The Squeezebox Touch (and iPeng, that's why it worked for you there,
too) can use 96kHz

Thank you!!! I had only known of iPeng as a remote control for SB
devices; I didn't know it had added playback capability. I just
purchased both, and find it's streaming everything from my NAS just
fine, including Hi-Res music that won't play on SqueezePlay on my PCs.
The NAS probably doesn't have SOX installed in the supplied package,
which is the application used for bitrate conversion.

Now I'm confused. Does SBS/LMS determine whether to downsample based on
the player being used, or does it handle all streams the same regardless
of the player? According to the Advanced Settings in the File Types
section, FLAC to FLAC is supposed to be handled natively, and, when
played on the
Yes, it looks at the capabilities of the player and downsamples to the
least common denominator. So, for example, if you had a Touch
synchronised to an SB3 then a 96/24 file would be downsampled to 48/24
since this is the highest bitrate both players can handle, but the same
