I've made use of the playback feature on the SBC and I'm surprised by your assessment. Granted, I haven't used the most current FW since I'm still on 7.5.0. My headphones are a pair for Grado SR-225s. I found that I could hear some background noise on the controller during quieter passages; on the iPod Touch (64 GB 3G running current iOS) I've never encountered that, either with mp3s loaded on it or FLACS played through squeezecast/iPeng. Both have a sound quality that is more than acceptable to me, but there is that one difference I could hear. Interesting how you have a different experience. Perhaps it has something to do with the headphones. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch.
