Nuuk, here is something to try: In the file types section of advanced settings, try changing the behaviour of flac files from flac > flac to flac > wave, and back again. The first causes the flac to be decoded natively in the hardware, and the second causes it to be decoded on the server. The second option can cause wireless throughput issues, however. If you are wired, there will be no issues. Many people (but by no means all) have reported a difference in the sound between these two options. I have found a difference using a TP, and I prefer the native decoding. This is nothing to do with the accuracy of the bits, as people have independently checked the bit accuracy of the native decoding. There is obviously some other mechanism at work, but I know not what. See what you think. -- bigfool1956 David Ayers Music is what counts, hifi just helps us enjoy it more ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bigfool1956's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48430 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
