The default behaviour of SBS is to stream WAV files on disk as FLAC over the network (with a single conversion at the server end if all players are synched)... unless you manually change this. I was simply asking why you would change this to stream 10 lots of WAV over the network instead of 10 lots of FLAC - you seem to be going to some trouble for zero benefit (and potentially network bandwidth issues, although that may not affect you). The format of the files on disk is irrelevant. SBS can handle it fine, but many peoples networks (maybe not yours) could have an issue. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
