The only time I did a blind test I failed to do more than guess (wrong >50%). I wonder if the buffer size can have any effect? For example, if you shut down the server while a .wav is playing, it only plays about ten seconds more. If a FLAC is playing, it seems to finish the song, or at least play for much longer. Buffer size seemed to be a pretty big issue for USB DAC's IIRC, larger being better. Would that render the hypothesis: Decoding on the player is better- utilizing a relatively larger buffer; valid? -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23706 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
