Hi all, I use the Enhanced Digital Output on my SBT. SBT is plugged via USB to a 24bits /192Khz capable USB DAC. I experience 2 issues: 1) when the SBT reboot or when I change album, I hear a little Tchhht in my speakers (last 1sec approximately). Do you guys experience the same thing on your

2. Is the Touch wired via ethernet or on wifi , with such high datarates wired is prefered and more likely to work . It is also strongly sugested that server you are using is wired to . Also stream the files as FLAC not PCM/WAV you get almost 40% reduction if the size of the stream ,this is the

The flac settings lock reasonable to me dont do anything . There is one strange thing you say in your first post that your hirez files gets trancoded by LAME ? Thats unexpected should be SoX and possibly flac but not. LAME . Lame is an mp3 encoder/decoder !! You want your 24/192 flac as 24/96

Hi, you are right (maybe I did not use the right vocabulary). I use Lame to encode my files in MP3 when I listen to music on my mobile device, but I dont use it on my squeezebox (on which I need the best quality). I was just mentioning that the 192KHZ files that cause problem on my SBT are very
