Very true. I was a bit myopic in my replay, but I wasn't considering your 24/48 vs 24/96 point. Sorry.
I can't really speak to that other than my own experience comparing a SB3/CI Audio DAC vs Transporter. I discovered this week that my comparison method was faulty: I had both units set to sync in the SServer and as a result the server was outputting the greatest resolution file they could both decode - 24/48. I'd like to compare again when I get the chance to go north to the cabin, but as of my last listening I much preferred the SB/DAC over the TP. I have a transcoding post here, in which the consensus is that the default settings are optimized: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72703 And the streaming sync post here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=495595#post495595 Perhaps one can provide you with the info to help, but to state the overly obvious: you ear is your best guide. If the Asus sounds better to you I can't debate, only be glad that you found the best fit for your system/room/ear. I'd certainly give the Asus another look if I had the chance and wan't please with my current set up (which does not include any Squeezebox in my current home system). -- kphinney -I like it, you may not.
