Or run a real server , but it would be interesting see what happens if you gaot an SB3 and one touch and sync them with an 192kHz files as a source. This is academic anyway there is not much music available anyway on 24/96 and 90% of it is "audiophile music" that that no sane person would choose anyway. Anyone with a music interest would sure choose a better performance of the same music with real musicians . So it's is much more likely that a squeezebox owner would stumble over one of the other 1000 open bugs before this one. The no transcoding issue has far greater implications than hirez files for example an SB3 don't do AAC or ALAC the Touch is slated to do that natively. There are many non native formats what about VMA lossles . The AAC or lowbitrate ogg issue could hamper some web radio . The tiny-SC server has limit, so a full blown server is needed in some cases. I personally think that the lack of web-UI on tiny-SC will fill this forum with whining ;) -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBRto be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to controll this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
