Good to hear i run annintel nuc nowadays as server ( time to edit My sig ) For the other Q i havent any USB DAC's to try with it's a big maybe from me and i do buy try to buy downloads <24/96 so i have very few 24/192 or "better" ( as I find them pointless) that would be transcoded by one of My rpi3 as ive use that for My main meridian rig and ive set up squeezelite to do 24/96 (-3db) for everything there as it handles 24/96 max . These are kind of fringe cases :) serving 24/192kHz synced to dozens of players . Try to not fiddle with LMS so that it sends PCM/WAV to all players instead of FLAC , if you just don't meddle with the file types settings your good . It's a popular myth that WAv sounds better but you basically gets double the bandwith requirements and it's usually not a problem excepts you wants to sync 9 players and FLAC uses much less bandwith and player buffers will last longer all works in your favour . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
