correct that the fact that WAV is supported natively by SB/TP might be
the right idea. And that perhaps jitter is introduced into a signal
when the Apple Lossless or WMA file is converted to FLAC/WAV based on
the accuracy of the CPU clock processing the conversion....
There...I said it...call me crazy! :-)
One way to test this is to record the digital coax or optical PCM
signal from the SB at full volume with a soundcard that has digital-
in (such as on any recent Mac) and compare the bits. You should end
up with the exact bits in the original WAV file, whether you're
playing FLAC, WAV, WMA Lossless, or ALAC.
