My observations: On SB Touch, using ethernet, 24bit/96kHz material is played lossless (no conversion on server). When using WIFI, the material is down-converted to 16bit/44kHz on the server. So, yes for high definition flac there is a difference -- stone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3440 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82026 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
