Is it possible this is a network bandwidth problem, rather than a flac issue? When my duet arrived I didn't exactly follow the instructions for set-up, and mistakenly had it installed by wireless, rather then wired-ethernet. I had some slipping issues with regular 16/48 flacs. I then read the instructions fully, setup again for the hybrid scenario, and have had no problems since.
I suggest you try running a wire from your router to the SBC, just to see if you still have skipping. This will ensure you are trying to solve the genuine cause of the fault:-) -- adrianr Former Roku owner (SB died!), now a very happy Duet user, Musical Fidelity X-DAC v3 & X-PSU ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adrianr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16258 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46728 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
