Thanks. Not having studied all the options fully there a couple of
tricks there that I might find useful one day. I currently just convert
flc to flc because one of my renderers doesn't like the sq2u flc headers
when re-positioning in a track.
As far as pcm versus flac is concerned I suspect it makes little
difference. I've seen many discussions about whether the renderer cpu
might be slightly more overloaded either handling greater network
traffic, or handling flac decoding. I've played around with it quite a
bit, and come to the conclusion that the higher network data rate may
have a worse effect on my renderer when playing 24/192 tracks than
sending flacs and getting it to do the decoding. With high rate pcm I
get occasional drop-outs and I think it's the renderer because all my
network tests always show no errors at all at even higher rates.
And yes, the plugin is great.
