The best way to handle 24/96 with the Duet or SB3 is to create a 2nd copy of the tracks downsampled to 24/48. The Duet will handle those quite nicely and you may be hard pressed to tell the difference. -- Pale Blue Ego

If i understand when a 24bit 96Khz FLAC play, the DUET read them as 44Khz and drop the rest. So the extra informations are not processed at all, right? As a long time owner of Slimdevices SB3 (since it came out) and now the DUET i can told you that this function of playing 24bit 96Khz FLAC is a

There is a lot more to it than just CPU speed, although that is a major limiting factor in terms of the data rate that the device can decode. It is also a function of everything downstream from the CPU being designed for 88.2/96KHz playback. No, 75MHz more CPU speed does not cost $1000, but it

Im using the DUET (firmware 42 with SC 7.2 beta) and when i play 24bit FLAC with over 3100Kbps i have distortion and music is choppy. I dont think it's my network since 24bit WAV with over 4600 Kbps play just fine. Look more something like the DUET hardware is not fast enough to decompress

What's the sample rate? 24/44.1 or 48 shouldn't have a bitrate that high. Normal 24/96 files only have a bitrate of around 2300-2500k. 88.2k and 96k files on Receiver are also downsampled so that may also be what you are experiencing. -- andyg
