I tried the Stravinsky. The music itself wasn't my cup of tea, but the
sound quality was great - the brass had a bite to it that sounded live.
The bass drum and percussion were quite good, too. I could definitely
tell the difference vs. redbook CD.

I think that you are correct as these downloads are playing fine on my
SB3 but on the softsqueeze I just get white noise.
Nice music though, thanks for pointing it out.
I have now found that I can play these files on softsqueeze after I
enabled a few more file types.

Norrington's Symphonie Fantastique is excellent, and mid-price too/

What I am confused about is whether the SB3 does any downsampling of
the 96k/24b source?
Yes to 48K. If my source is correct it's done in the Sb3 as you say (as
opposed to on the server), by throwing away every other bit.
One of my SB3s is hooked up to a Benchmark DAC1 which supports 96k/24b.
Is the downsample still applied to the digital output or will my SB3
pass on the full sample to my DAC1?
Thanks.

According to that link it's 48k digital output. There is a way to send

Actually, according to the Benchmark site, it does lots more.
The DAC1 is a two-channel, 24-bit, 192-kHz audio Digital-to-Analog
converter. The DAC1 is perhaps one of the more significant recent
