Yes I'm aware of aiff. It was the default audio file format on my SGI O2 ... The implication of what's being discussed is that there is a *data* dependency for this file. Something, very odd, about the audio data itself is causing the Touch to require buffering whether it's played as aiff (i.e. s

It’s a real mystery. I’m very curious. Can the OP post the track somewhere so that others can test it on a different system. Dropbox, etc. p.s. I hope this is an enjoyable track, as much of a headache as it’s been. 😳 *Home:* VBA 4TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (ethernet) *

:rolleyes: I recall he may have tested with 24/96 and it worked fine. p.s. if I have a choice on downloads I always buy 16/44.1. If not I’ll always choose 24/96 if I have a choice. Works with mt transporter and touch. And it’s the *mastering* that matters anyhow. drmatt wrote: > Also. You co

Silly question: has the OP decoded the file and re-ncoded it with FLAC, compression level 0. If not I think that would be useful. Touch, Meridian G92, Bryston B4 SST2, PMC OB1i speakers, HP Proliant Microserver/Ubuntu, PC/Windows 7, iPad 4, iPeng, Squeezepad. --

AIFF can be thought of as being WAV with knobs on. WAV capable of carrying metadata, something that WAV itself has difficulty with. So the files are bigger from the off. They're both PCM, and both have bandwidth hogging issues, which if not met causes rebuffering. The reason why FLAC was settled
