Fwiw (warning: not measured, for those that care) I have the impression
that the background noise level is noticeably higher when the issue is
happening...

Pretty sure I have power cycled the amp during this phase before and it
didn't snap out of it but yes this is obviously one to try

So worth trying to isolate the issue. Next time your system goes into
the weird mode, try turning the DAC on and off to see if it fixes the
problem.

But the point is when there is no difference a human could hear ? then

Everything you said was obvious and not "news" to anyone. You still
can't measure to tell the difference between the type of sound I prefer
and the type you prefer.

Well, I finally replaced the C16 and C20 capacitors in my original
slimdevices sb3, back when you could by them without the wireless card.
I used aluminum electrolytic 10uF 16V caps, purchased from digikey.

due to sheer convenience i dial my Dac+preamp at a medium-high listening
level, and fine-tune the volume with the LMS remote on my iPad. i can
not ever hear a difference in sound quality, even with 192/24 recordings

Indeed. Factual accuracy is a true sign of pedantry.

If it does not transcode it is what the file is + 8 zeroes on the spdiff
out if it's 16 bit material or something else if you us
Meanwhile, still would like to find out how to find a live value of the
in-use bitrate on the spdif outputs..

I'm even trying to use small amounts of digital attenuatiin to my
beneffit ? Result inconclusive , but one noted side effect is that in
practice you dont hear the squeezebox volume control imo at least not
small amounts of it .
We had discussion about intersample overshots some over sampling filt

Yes - the key part of that is "YMMV". And "haha". :)
