No, that wouldn't make sense. iPeng can play up to 48kHz, 24 Bit FLAC
(output wise) and 96kHz, 24 bit input wise (it can also play that full
rate through USB audio on the iPad, read the latest announcement on the
web site).
Even when iPeng only actually plays the audio as 44.1 kHz, 16 bit output
(when using analog out on iPhone) it still makes sense to be able to use
the full stream because that way you can sync it to another Squeezebox
(Touch or Transporter) without spoiling the HD sample rate playback.

Well, maybe Synology uses something like shine, too. There are also
commercial mp3 encoders that use fixed point maths to encode mp3, which
is what it's needed to make it perform well on most NAS because these
lack a floating point processor.
Which model is it, BTW?

The one gotcha here is that if you use port 9002 internally it's also
got to be 9002 on the internet.
