There've been quite a few - try searching the forum. The simplest method is to record the S/PDIF output of the SB using (say) a computer soundcard, and then compare the resulting WAV file with the FLAC file decoded to WAV on the server, or with the original WAV file the FLAC was encoded from. I have not tried this, but several on this forum have, as of course has SD during development and testing. Early versions of the firmware did have a bug - they inverted polarity in the output. That was caught and fixed a long time ago. And as Phil keeps pointing out, it's hard to imagine a bug in FLAC decoding that would produce a sound anywhere close to the original. FLAC is a highly compressed format, which means if you modify it slightly the decoded file will be changed a lot. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38258 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
