at the risk of getting severely flamed here... ;-)
has anyone actually tried to take the dig. output from SB3, receiver et
al. and compared that to the original CD?
reason i ask is that there ARE known issues with at least one of the
codecs in the SB3:

i understand that that bug applies to the MP3 codec, but it was assumed
(!) to be near perfect, which it was not.
Since when has any

Yes, it's been done a number of times. I think there were some posts
about tests like this in the Audiophile forum (thar be dragons!)
recently. I think at

No flames here but an easy way to prove that at least the FLAC decoding

I have tried the DTS and dolby digital test, my HT processor gets it
ergo my chain is lossles, no bits are missing.
It's a little fuzzy to encode an 5.1 stream as wav and then to FLAC ,
but it can be done. I took it one step further and burned such a track
on a CD and ripped it to ensure that no
I have 200GB of music ripped to .M4A files using iTunes Apple Lossless
encoding (alac), that I stream via SqueezeCenter to a Transporter and
output to my power amp using the Transporter's variable outputs.
Sometimes I get the feeling that the playback is rather shrill, and I
am trying to
Any thoughts?
Settings-Advanced-File types is where you can control the processing
of Apple Lossless and set convert to FLAC or WAV before streaming.

Lossless is lossless.

What is the exact end-to-end signal path when using M4A alac encoded
files?
As I understand it, alac files are not decoded natively in the
Transporter? So is it true that SqueezeCenter converts alac to flac and
sends that to the Transporter? Does the Transporter then

I don't speak iTunes. But with flac, its trivial to prove its really
lossless. Take
