OK - Thomas, this is the line that shows what is happening when these files play: [11-02-10 23:18:47.0950] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (242) Found command: [flac] -dcs --force-raw-format --endian=little --sign=signed $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ [11-02-10 23:18:47.0952] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::getConvertCommand2 (424) Matched: flc->pcm via: [flac] -dcs --force-raw-format --endian=little --sign=signed $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ A word of caution, by the way... if you ever try and play 192 or 176.4 files they won't work if you stream them as PCM... There is NO downsampling going on here, so - assuming that what is playing is indeed a 96khz file (can't tell from the log) - the obvious conclusion is that the rDac optical input can in fact handle 96khz! - which wouldn't surprise me, since my 10 year-old Linn 5103 can! Downsampling is done by sox.exe, so if you open up (Windows)Task Manager while a track is playing and sox.exe is NOT running then no downsampling is occurring. Maybe someone else with an rDac can confirm? -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
