The 24bit files that WMP outpts are actually 20bit files with 4bits added it seems. FLAC simply remove the empty 4bits when encoding and the FLAC ends up as a 20bit file. My SB plays the FLAC file, but with to low volume. To fix this I open the Cronotron WAV in Adobe Audition and resave it in the same format. This WAV plays on the SB and the FLAC file is 24bit. > > Stick with streaming FLAC and the 24 bit-files play fine... > > or do they?
