Is there a fix? I have an SB2 digital out to a DAC synched with an SB2 with analog outs and I've never noticed this.
How is it possible for the streams to get out of synch over the course of a single track? The Onkyo would must be buffering the digital input and then play it back at the _wrong_ rate. If its digital playback is that badly screwed up, you'd undoubtedly be better off using the analog outs of the Squeezebox. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24380 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
