Another issue is what the software player and PC sound apps & drivers might be doing to the playback stream along the way. It's been a while since I played with Softsqueeze, but when I tried it a few years ago I was not getting bit-perfect playback (tested by playing a 5.1 DTS file into a surround receiver -- it couldn't decode it). This was nothing to do with Softsqueeze (a great product), but the Java sound libraries and the Windows kmixer.
Anyway, you may want to check if this has been addressed in recent versions of Softsqueeze. Also have read up on ASIO drivers and try playing with foobar2000 and winamp playback which can use these drivers. The DTS decode check is always a reassuring test make sure no bits are being mangled in the playback process. muski -- muski SB3->Bryston BP25DA->Bryston 4B-SST->Watt Puppy 7s Transporter->Headrom Max Balanced Amp->Balanced AKG701s & HD650s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ muski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3670 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36784 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
