Apologies - I wasn't very specific. I'm running SS 6.2 through an SB2 to a new tube amp/speaker setup that I have. I was looking at experimenting with the preamp feature (I seem to have the opposite problem to most - volume control doesn't cover the full range). I upgraded to 6.2 last night and noticed a significant drop-off in quality when listening to FLAC and WAV files. Sound was flat, lacking in top-end etc. To my ear it sounded like these files were being transcoded to MP3 - By default I have unlimited bitrate, etc, but perhaps something was interferring with this. To that end I found it very difficult to distinguish between FLAC and AAC (usually it's pretty apparent). It's quite likely that I have just screwed up my install. I'll try 6.2 again tonight and see if there is any transcoding going on (i presume presence of the lame/similar process is would be the indicator of this?). It's likely that I haven't experimented with the player/audio settings enought. AIFF files were not affected in the same way (I have a sample set of WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, AAC that I have been using for auditions). This is what what made me wonder about the above. (p.s. I meant AIFF rather and AAC in my original post). -- jhwilliams _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
