My understanding is that in this case, full volume on the Squeezebox will give you the best (100%) quality, and that seems to be confirmed by your results. Full volume passes the exact bits that are stored on the disk, whereas anything less is changing the volume _digitally_, and therefore changing the bits. It's a different animal than an analog volume control. Ed _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
