The processor in the Touch is WAY more powerful than the one in the
transporter so there should not be a problem playing 192 files, even
decoding flac. There might be a problem when the server is on the Touch.
There might not be enough horsepower to run TinySBS and the player both

If it's simple do it.
Othervise not, it concerns so very few.
I'll be happy to avoid server-side transcoding on these files.
My server is on the slow side, It can do it but running 70% cpu load.
My Plan is to run cat5 wire to it anyway for the 24/96 files.
Aha !
Now i've found a good reason to d
I think there might be an issue with decoding algorithm for FLAC, let
alone others. The CPU isn't up to transcoders, so it may be marginal on
24/192.
We know the Transporter is marginal on max compression 24/96 FLACs in
certain cases.

Several reasons: File size of 24/192 FLAC files, most humans can't hear
the difference between 24/96 and 24/192, costs to much for a mass

1) there is almost no commercial material in this format
2) no living person can tell the difference between 24/96 and 24/192
under dbt conditions
However, if it is a simple software upgrade then by all means let us
have it.

I guess there is no *.map file anymore where you could simply configure
the buttons to your personal preferences ... would this have to be a
change on the client or on the server?
