Hey no problem at all.
We're taking sound quality and decode accuracy very seriously here!
If anyone finds a problem it goes straight to the top of my list. :)

Sean,
Let me first apologize for the post I made on AudioAsylum. I should
have taken my thoughts here first and was unaware that it would cause
a stir. I've asked the folks that run that forum to remove my post,
and hopefully they will.
The sonic differences we heard are entirely subjective and not easily
quantifiable, but were easily noticed by all of the folks in
attendance. Terms such as 'boxy sounding' and 'compressed' were used,
but there is no way to attach a measurable metric to this. I would
like to be more specific if there are ways you can advise to do so. We
were mostly just surprised that we heard any differences at all since
our expectations were that flac vs PCM should yield identical results.
That all said, I will take time this weekend to check through the
system setup and make sure that the differences we hear aren't due to
any other factors.
In the meantime, I've posted a retraction to my comment on AudioAsylum
to hopefully alleviate any harm it may have done. I was naive to think
that my comment would be taken in a smaller context and the result was
certainly not my expectation.

I have and enjoy both my SB1 and the new SB2 I received, but noted
that we could indeed hear audible differences between the two types
of streaming. I was (and are still) hoping that this information
would be taken constructively by the Slim Devices folks.
Ken,
This information is actually not helpful - you need to tell us what
you're hearing or give some measurements or a test case which
demonstrates an objective difference. Even a subjective listening
test would be helpful, but only if done scientifically and with
double-blind controls.
I've got s/pdif and analog audio analyzers, oscilloscopes, spectrum
analyzers, function generators, frequency counters, dozens of sets of
receivers and speakers to test with, and a pair of ears. Any problem
you can identify could be measured here, but you have to tell us what
it is.
