WAV's get transcoded to FLAC by default so it uses more cpu on the server. Sound is exactly the same , no it makes no difference, *no* it really don't makes any difference ;) thats a fact. Flac support embedded artwork replay gain tags embedded cue sheets. If you for some reason forces sbs to not transcode WAV to FLAC (or have a NAS or weak server)it uses more bandwidth, with a wireless squeezebox you use approx half the bandwidth with FLAC vs WAV. This could be a deciding factor in a multi room setup. WMA lossless is only working on windows servers ? or is it a hack for other platforms. WMA Lossless gets transcoded to FLAC (or wav if you have a NAS or configured it that way). So it uses more cpu than FLAC or WAV files do. So in short if not iTunes addicted use flac. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74724 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
