Oh wow. In this case they really do a lot of sample rate transformation. AirPlay, at least when streaming from an iOS device (iPhone/iPad/iPod) streams 16/44.1, that's the only format iOS devices support internally and I don't believe (again: don't know; I know the "only works with 16/44.1 internally" thing) they are upsampling on the device so the AppleTV would do that. It makes a lot of sense for a video device to use 48kHz since all the DVD/... formats use that but it means they do modify the sound a lot. And what does this tell us: my theory above holds: artifacts sound good to some people :) -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94223 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
