The thread has gone on for nearly 2 months now, and just keeps going round in circles. And it goes round in circles for the same reason - someone makes a claim and then fails to provide any proof. Any evidence provided by other forum members that is contrary to the claim is ignored.

So as you see, I'm not entirely happy with my Squeezebox's sound. I am happy with the DAC in tow. Daverz;500974 Wrote: > Perhaps you are too emotionally invested in these little black boxes. Nope - although I still think they're a great way to play my digital music collection.

Audiophile fussing got to me, as you're aware. I've had similar concerns once before - I went from one version of server to another, and the sound quality went from excellent to dreadful. I also posted on this section of the forum to see if anyone else had experienced the same issues. My problems were sorted out by an uninstal, registry cleanup, and totally clean reinstal. Since then I've not encountered any problems or noticed any audible differences when switching from one version to another. I also cannot hear any differences between wav and flac files. I have played around unpacking flacs to wavs and packing wavs up to flacs and listening to them - I'm buggered if I can detect any differences. So I fall into the very contented camp. Anyway, that's enough of this; may I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy New Year.
