Your SqueezeServer in your computer transcodes an Apple file to a Flac.
With a flac file it does no transcoding and streams the file as is. The
transcoding could take a reasonable amount of the capacity of a very low
spec machine, perhaps not leaving sufficient resources for other tasks.
As I said I am interested to get to the bottom of these occassional
reports of sound differences between different lossless file formats so
I was on a fact finding mission. Myself and others want to make dead
sure that the differences are not caused by obvious but often overlooked
things like volume and file type settings before devoting more time to
the conundrum.
