Equal volume ? Not the volume setting but the actual real volume . As sugested use a dB meter to check . Humans does not always percieve small volume increases as louder , but the slightly louder versions is perceived to sound better . Difference should be < 0,5 dB . Otherwise it should be the same data ? Sure that the oficial plugin understands that you have a flac streaming subscription and not sending 256k MP3 to you ( that can be audible if badly encoded and at a slightly lower volume and it does not help that the built in MP3 decoder in many squeezeboxes are slightly compromised ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
