Hi, I'm new in the forum and with a new squeezebox touch (only 2 days of the new magic toy ;)). But... The first disappointment. I think! When I go to the characteristics of my flac files, i note that the bitrate are downsampling to 705 kbs. It is possible change that? Thank you

Yeas the reported number for downsampling is a bug it 24/192 is downsampled to 24/96 by SoX and this is totally transparent you can't hear that . Bug howso ? Apparently they never wrote any software routine to fetch the actual avarage rate done by transcoding so they use a place holder with the
