Just done a series of 'null' tests: SMS iPeng iPad Shairport4w Airport emulator Sony Sound Forge (all on same PC). Null tested against: iTunes Sony Sound Forge. Result? Total cancelation. Which means, iPeng outputs bit-perfect audio through Airplay, AND Shairport4w is bit-perfect also.

Hi Pippin, I have a Squeezebox Touch, iPeng for iPad, iPhone AND the playback feature add-on. MANY THANKS INDEED! But I'm curious; is iPeng capable of bit-perfect audio output through a digital dock such as the Arcam drDock? (ie: does not do any additional resampling/reprocessing and outputs'

Since for obvious reasons this thread has become even more interesting, could you please add a list of good dockingstaions with SPDIF out? So I guess for many out there it will be a good option to just buy an iPod and a dockingstaion instead of a Touch in the future. Or an iPod in a speakerdock

After skipping it may take a moment until it sync back completely. If it gets out of sync during skipping, the server needs to process the resulting timestamps to find out how much it's wrong and to compensate for it. Normal drift during playback should not get that far but be compensated away

iPeng just got new updates in the App Store (iPeng for iPhone 1.6/iPeng for iPad 1.4). The biggest change to the previous versions, once more, is on the audio and playback side: • iPeng now supports extended sample rate audio when used with digital outputs, e.g. using the iPad’s Camera
