Andrew - that's a mega-question! I'll make a start: 1) Slim can't support Apple natively because Apple is a proprietory format - sorry but AFAIK that will never happen, thanks to Apple. 2) Your player settings are independent of each other - even when synced. 3) You should set ALAC to stream as FLAC for minimum impact on your network. 4) Some features (eg replaygain) don't work if streaming WAV instead of FLAC/MP3 5) if you specific "no limit" in the limit bitrate box, then it will stream FLAC or WAV - not sure how it chooses which if both are enabled. If you set limiting, it will stream as MP3 instead (unless youhave disabled this option in file settings)
6) LAME quality level is about degree of compression vs. CPU load not sound quality - leave it set on 9 7) not sure if crossfade works with WAV? - maybe FLAC/MP3 only 8) some people need to stream as MP3 for marginal wi-fi setups or for streaming across the net. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT 2.2X (Linear PSU) + Good Vibrations S/W - MF Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55442 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
