Have you tried putting the WAV files you generated on the slimserver and playing them over SB and SoftSqueeze? It does sound like either the FAAD processing or the on-the-fly FLAC conversion (or the FLAC decoding in SB/SS - I hope not!). Trying the "good" WAV files on slimserver would at least eliminate the FLAC part as a culprit. -- LavaJoe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LavaJoe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2331 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18219 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
