There is a very good reason why the default setting is to stream as FLAC, namely that for most people this will minimise issues with wi-fi bandwidth.
I've long abandoned the SB3 as I now have a Touch and as far as I am concerned the sound of the Touch (via s/pdif) is noticeably different and better (for me) than the SB3. Several people in the past have been caught out by the Replaygain thing (including myself and JS) which is why I mentioned it - you should check that. The storage format is irrelevant to sound quality (flac vs wav). If you prefer to stream wav over flac that's fine. My data point is that on the Touch (7.5/latest nightly firmware) via s/pdif there is no audible or measurable difference to what comes out of my external DAC. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
