I'm not going to debate this topig again but let mi remind you that it has already been investigated here and was prooved that CPU usage added by network overhead is less than converting flac to pcm. BTW I've not said it's becouse of CPU usage. I agree Tweeking dac and speakers is easier, but what you lost at the sourse is lost... no matter how much you tweek speakers and dac. ____________________________________________________________ SB+, Klimo Merlino + Kent Gold, Monitor Audio Studio 20 Gold SE+, Klimo reference and DIS Interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106956 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
