Keith, I just read into your message a bit more and need additional advice: >From what I understand in the forums SS->SB transport is done in WAV (please correct me if I'm wrong). Does this mean that files encoded as AIFF do not need to be preprocessed by SS and decoded by the SB? Likewise, if I have intermittent spotty signal dropouts in my wireless would the larger AIFF file be subjected to more transmission failures?
