I really don't know. Some people claims lower cpu is better, some others think is the way memory is used that matter, you are pointing out something else... Sure I'm not the one who could pretend to know how it works and why, but at least we could clear the field from one big lie tourning here around for a wile: No way flac is less demanding than wav other than for network bandwidth and storage space. If someone want people believe the opposite, or use this point against streaming wav, then he has to show us why, with evidences. ____________________________________________________________ SB+, Klimo Merlino + Kent Gold, Monitor Audio Studio 20 Gold SE+, Klimo reference and DIS Interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104227 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
