well, SC is converting ALAC to FLAC using faad/sox, so i guess the difference I'm hearing is actually between FLAC and AIFF, both of which are converted natively by the TP. and would it surprise you to learn i hear a difference between wired and wireless to the TP, and prefer the former? what ever bias might be involved, i assure you it's an inconvenient one- running ethernet to my system was a pain in the ass. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98630 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
