Interesting comment Wombat. I've always just used -8 with dBPowerAmp for all my FLAC encodes and never had a problem with any of the SB devices (SB3/Boom/Radio/Transporter/Touch). I vaguely remember there may have been an issue with an old Transporter firmware but that was years ago... I've never played with block sizes however - was there much size saving going to 16K sizes?
