Ok , two was fixing this . Get a more powerfull server . Make yourself 24/48 copies of the 24/96 files ( flac is a good idea ), very easy to do with dBpower amp or foobar and dozens of other apps . Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS

I'm not at all impressed with the sound quality of my Sonos connect (it's not entirely bad, too. It's simply average) but hey, we are talking about Rhapsody here, aren't we? I mean, it doesn't get much worse there days if we talk about sound quality so what you stream it to pretty much doesn't

Now that Logitech seems to have turned it back on Squeezebox won't it be time to rename the product to Slimserver again? A waste of time. As long as there are no serious problems with the name I won't touch it. SlimServer most likely would cause new problems anyway. -- Michael

[slim] Which files types can the different players handle natively?

I am starting to build a small library of hi-res files and noticed an unusual behaviour when playing them on my SB3 and Radios. I use a QNAP TS-212P as server (LMS 7.8.0) and never had any issues with my large library of standard 44.1kHz/16bit files, mostly CD rips in uncompressed alac and flac,

I've got the damnest problem that I can't figure out. I own a Squeezebox Classic as well as a Squeezebox Radio. When I try to play a selection from Rhapsody through the Classic using the Logitech Media Server (LMS), I get no audio. The display shows the audio streaming, and if I go to the

This is not entirely complete . http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Hardware_comparison There are product links at the top . But in your case SB3 and radio supports up to 24bit 48kHz natevily so SoX will be running on 24/96 files . it should not be running with 24/44.1 files ? is this a

Sox means resampling. That should not happen for 44.1/48 kHz material, all players support that (except slimp3) also with 24 bit. Only touch, transporter and most software players support 96 kHz, all others need resampling which is CPU heavy --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad

Oh, and depending on your server setup ALAC might always be transcoded to FLAC. ALAC is natively supported by Touch (and some software players, like iPeng) only but the default server setup even transcoded for these players until 7.7.3 or so. ALAC to FLAC transcoding should not require a lot of

Thank you for all the info, just repeated some testing with alac and flac and up to 48kHz/32 bit there is no problem... I must have confused some files, earlier. Max cpu was 16% for alac 48/32 on SB3 (faad and sox), while just a few % for Radio with the same file. Problems then happen only with
