Hi, you are right (maybe I did not use the right vocabulary). I use Lame to encode my files in MP3 when I listen to music on my mobile device, but I dont use it on my squeezebox (on which I need the best quality). I was just mentioning that the 192KHZ files that cause problem on my SBT are very we

even with a very powerful WIFI system, there can still be bandwidth issues in WIFI and still be WIFI interference, etc. This sounds like the classic "two hop" problem. You have one wifi hop from router to laptop, then a 2nd wifi hop from router to SBT. You're not seeing the issue with non-hires

The flac settings lock reasonable to me dont do anything . There is one strange thing you say in your first post that your hirez files gets trancoded by LAME ? Thats unexpected should be SoX and possibly flac but not. LAME . Lame is an mp3 encoder/decoder !! You want your 24/192 flac as 24/96 fl

In theory if you're using 192/24 files then yes EDO could mean a greatly increased bandwidth is used. Without EDO your server will transcode to 96/24 but with EDO and a 192 capable DAC you'll get the full bitrate being sent through your network. With files of a lesser bitrate I wouldn't expect E
