When transcoding from ALAC to FLAC on any Squeezebox device (I don't
have one yet, but waiting for the Touch release), is there any
noticeable quality loss or any performance issues?

My understanding
I just wish to stress that I wasn't in any way implying malice, hence
the "unintentional" bit.

IMHO it's false advertising once the product is on sale. Until then,
and this feature is present or not, it's all just conjecture. It's not
exactly unusual for a product's final s

Done. Thanks for the tip. Can't believe mine was the first vote.

There is also a bug listed for this:

Watch this space. Come release time, I'm sure the spec page will be
updated if ALAC support isn't available.

OK - that brings me back to my original question. It appears from the
specifications for the Touch that it

By 'actual' bitrate, I mean the real rate of bits being sent to the
player for tht track, eit

AFAIK, Apple Lossless, like WMA Lossless, isn't a format supported
natively by the IP3K Squeezeboxes.
It needs to be converted to something else the SB can play.

What are you calling 'actual' bitrate? The bitrates shown by SbS

It's behaves in a similar way when SOX is used to transcode between
24/96 to 24/48 displaying bogus bitrates ? if it is what your are
searching for.
IMHO remove that info don't display anything if its incorrect, just
show "transcoded" flac>flac, alc>flac mp4>mp3 , WMA>flac or whatever is
going on

If I understand the specifications on the Touch web page, Apple Lossless
will no longer be transcoded to a lower bitrate, as is now the case
using the Duet.
Can anyone confirm that? This would be a good reason to change.
