Wombat; Thanks for pointing me at Sox. I haven't yet figured out where
it fits in the chain but learning is half the fun. I am hoping though
that someone knows how to convince Squeezebox Server or the Touch's
firmware to do this without adding any plug-ins or outside programs.

I think there was a thread recently discussing total delays introduced
by all the buffering / processing, but I can't find it. Everyone on

tweaking the different SPDIF values changes the sound noticably,

Hi guys, I need a bit of advice on cabling!
Now, I know that this kind if misses the point! So, here's the
question: what is the recommended audio cable method for a restricted

The amp in question is an old Pioneer AX-10 A/V amp, not a patch on the

I'm sure you've already experimented with this, but with those
distances, a difference of a few feet would, it seems to me, only move
the sweet spot a little off center. I also can't imagine doing much

Will it do the same with a 176.4 signal?
Would you know if it uses an intelligent algorithm like modern sample
rate conversion chips or if it just divides by two?

I think you need to do that for the new values to take effect?
