I've seen that thread. I think you'd have to test it under various FLAC loads (compression level and material) to really know it has no effect which is near impossible because I assume he tested a test signal. It may not effect jitter either but possibly other audible errors. I'm not saying there is any difference. I'm just saying there could be. That it's possible. And the less work you give that little processor in SB3 the less likely it is to trip up. We know that it can't handle 24/96 and FLAC 8 compression. And transcoding FLAC to WAV does indeed fix this "Audio" problem. Could it possibly avoid smaller artifacts in less stressful situations like 24/48 at FLAC 10 compression? I really don't know? But I know it's possible. If it wasn't so trivial to do, I wouldn't bother. -- mswlogo Thinkpad XP SS > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF-COAX > Meridian 861V4 (Trifield, Room corrected, Upsampled) > DSP5500 Mains, DSP5500HC Center, DSP33 Rears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35865 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
