Hi all, let me contribute two observations to this interesting discussion
1. Streaming any flac file as pcm (wav) results in a higher volume level than streaming the same file in flac natively (even visible in a wider range of the movement of the pointers of the transporter's analogue VU-Meter, of which I thought, this display was only a nice gimmick). Could be a hint that the wohle phenomenon could have to do with gain (?). 2. Today I streamed a flac file (first movement of the symphony No 5 by Ralph Vaughan-Williams) natively and the transporter displayed as bitrate; "532 kb/s VBR". When streaming the same file as pcm the display showed: "532 kb/s VBR (converted to 1411 kb/s ABR)". So me too, I prefer to set the squeezeserver to convert flac to pcm and enjoy the result - despite of it is a placebo effect or not.
