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.

Ok, good.
And for WAV?
Thanks again.

It's pretty much clear to me.
And for the 24bit 96Khz FLAC is the DUET playing them in that quality
or there is a downgrade to 44Khz?
It drops every other sample, which is not correct down-sampling, so
it's not playing them correctly at all. Personally
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

No, what happens is that a sampling effect called aliasing causes all
the material above the nyquist (22KHz) to get

Besides the processor there is logic, oscillators, and the s/pdif
and/or DAC outputs. So the system has to be designed from the start for
96KHz to work, and you may be surprised that doubling the data rate is a
major design

Dont tell me +75mhz cost 1000$ more (DUET vs Transporter). I found this
very bad that the new DUET cant read 24bit 96khz FLAC because lack of
CPU power and much more because of only 75mhz.

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
Overclock with heatsink ? :)

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.

88.2 and 96 KHZ are only supported on Transporter.

But you could buy a Transporter, and control it with your Squeezebox
Controller.. :)
(and your receiver could be relegated to something more mundane, like
someones bedroom or back yard or something )
