Just to get this straight: You listened through an external DAC (ECD-1), and still thought the sound was to dark? If so, does another transport with that same DAC sound more to your liking? You could always try converting FLAC to WAV on the server side. In my system this totally changes the sound for the better, for unknown reasons (Slim software version related, rumor has it). Under File Types, you just need to uncheck all FLAC conversions except FLAC -> WAV (and uncheck any WAV to "something" conversions too). Restart any playing song. As a test, you should not be able to skip (FF/RW) in a song if you play a FLAC transcoded to WAV. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22176 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
