The Touch itself would not need it as it does 24/96. So what will the Touch do with a 24/192 stream? It doesn't have the horsepower to downsample. And as you say, what about playing 24/96 on an SB3 from SqueezeboxServer Light running on a Touch, which can't run SOX?
Lots of non-geek users are going to run a Touch with SBS-Lite. They are clearly a major slice of who the new products are aimed at. And they might well buy some 24/96 stuff online. So when they connect up that used SB3 they got as a bargain on eBay and their 96kHz files fail to play, they're going to be confused/miffed. Don't expect them to do the necessary research to find out they need to perform a one-off downsample to 48kHz using a separate PC. I predict that the only practical solution to this issue is the reintroduction of the "drop every other sample" firmware kludge - not only on the SB3, but also on the Touch for 192kHz material. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
