I'm ripping to FLAC.
I just tried switching from a coaxial to an RCA cable it it works fine.
Kinda' stinks 'cause I figured digital out would be the way to go.
It really depends on the quality of the DAC in your receiver. Which
depends a lot on the age of it, since DACs get better following Moore's
Law, new designs are a lot better than old ones, even fairly high end.
The SqueezeBox 3 has a pretty good DAC. I would expect it to be better
than a four or five year old 'theater receiver' I would not expect it
to be better than something like a Meridian Control center, but
the Meridian costs at least $8,000
How many of you use RCA?
First of all, there is little point in asking such a poll question.
The user community is not the same as the folks on the forums and
mailing lists. So it is not at all clear what the answer would mean,
even if you got a decent statistical sample.
Do you mean how many folks use the SqueezeBox analog output RCA jacks?
A lot, probably the majority. Or do you mean how many use the RCA jack
for digital out (S/PDIF)? A lot of folks do that, but I do not expect it
to be a majority. I have tested both the coax/rca digital out and the
toslink (optical) link to my external DAC, and I can tell absolutely
no difference between them.
YMMV
