That's a good strategy - if you regulate the volume with the receiver or amp, you won't have any worries. It's only if you turn the gain up on the pre-amp or amplifier in order to use the Squeezebox's remote controlled volume, that the documented issue with the "White Noise of Death" could be a potential speaker killer. And yeah, properly done FLAC sounds great - this is a cheap way of doing the same basic thing that McIntosh's Music Server 300 does. -- Cleve Two-channel system; McIntosh MC2205 amplifier McIntosh MAC4100 receiver Klipsch CF-4 speakers Denon DR-M3 Cassette Deck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cleve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2048 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
