This is the problem sometimes with responding to every customer feature request. SB3 does not support 96Khz playback. But somebody said they wanted to play 96Khz files when synced with their Transporter, so we added a crude decimation function to make it sort of work. But it was never supposed to do 24/96, and we don't even claim that it does. We just made it do what it can with 96KHz files because someone really wanted that, and now people complain that it doesn't work right! i.e. we gave them something broken to complain about instead of just not implementing the feature. I don't want to argue whether or not that was the right thing to do, I'm just giving you the background on it. 24/96 flac doesn't work, and it's not because flac "doesn't sound as good". So I get what you're saying, but it's irrelevant to the case in point, where the writer was obviously implying that there is some compromise inherent in the compression format itself. Obviously if your playback hardware doesn't support it then it's not going to work. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35350 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
