It depends on how you have the File Types set up in Slimserver. You can have it convert Apple Lossless files to either FLAC, MP3, or WAV, and I believe the default converts it to FLAC. I do perceive a slight but noticeable improvement in sound quality when using ALAC-to-WAV over ALAC-to-FLAC.... -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34122 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
