A synchronised stream is just one stream used by multiple players, so yes, it will be the lowest common rate supported across the devices - in your case if you set bitrate limiting to 192 for one player, all synced players in that sync group will get MP3 at that same rate. For mp3, the bit rate varies anyway during playback - the 192 is a max value. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
