not unusual, but also not supported by the SPDIF specification. The SB2 resamples, but SB1 does not. Thus low bitrates, those with under 22kHz sampling, will only play via analog out. > > However, yours is a good idea and I'm excited to test it.

This is only the case for bitrate limiting on a player, and only if the input rate is higher. MP3's of lower bitrate are left as is, playing natively.

Not necessarily broken, if it is the case described above. -kdf _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
