More specifically, note that seanadam's prior posting noted that: "FLAC typically uses about 750 kbps (or 0.75 Mbps) bandwidth" so @zzvelik's 705kbps is typical for FLAC of redbook audio. The server is converting the stream to normal flac. The SB3 does not support high/wide bit rates. The Touch will. Another reason that the Touch is better than the SB3/Classic. And to the point of the subject topic of this thread. The SB3/Classic is done. Its never going to do anything more than it does today. The Server may do fancy stuff in the future, but its not going to be enhanced. The future is the Touch. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
