Yes the server it does this with 176.4 to, SBS uses SOX whos algoritms is considered very good, by most people who knows this stuff, this was introduced for precisely the reason you mentioned really old SB3 fw used to just throw away 1/2 of the samples this could of course give you all kinds of ghastly aliasing artifacts. Also with a growing number of players with different specs there was a need for a resampler of some quality. It is also a great geek toy as some users abusive it for upsampling and other stuff, sox has a lot of features :) -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
