The last couple of days I have played three-four 24/48 albums in flac
format with only a few seconds of skipping. My conclusion is that the
software mentioned in my previous post works much better in handling
this format than the official release.
Keep up the good work Logitech!

This gives the Duet's CPU the least amount of work to do while

Tonight I have updated SC to 7.01-19422, the receiver with firmware 23
and the controller with 7.01 r2409.
It is too early to conclude on the testing but I have played the songs
that used to skip as well as many other 24/48 albums with no skipping
at all!
I will get back here when I have done

I thought that with flac, the compression and decompression speeds were
independant.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
Sorry for not posting more results of the testing but it takes time
because sometimes the receiver does not skip at all; yesterday when I
tried to run it wired it did not skip. Then I connected to wlan again
and it did not skip there either.
I have noticed
I think that the buffers are the same. What you describe though does
tend towards suggesting that you have a problem with the wireless.
Wireless problems would tend to cause dropouts (skipping) and a slower
server would have problems keeping up exaggerating the problem.

Unless it's a problem others have verified, maybe you should request a fixed
Receiver. Or file a bug to
Try this: re-encode the flac files with -0 or --compression-level-0
option (i.e. Fastest compression).
That solved the problem of skipping/cracking playback of 24/96 files
for me.

Are you saying you're running EVERYTHING wireless, or did I misread? I

The fact that the wav skips is indicative of at least some weakness in
your wireless setup (mine won't skip with all four SB3's running at
once). However, the flac should be easier on your wireless so I'm not
sure if that's the main problem. I would try to isolate it before you
do anything
OS, apologies if I wasn't clear enough! I have a wireless network, but
