Sssh don't :-) :-) even your joking can contribute to the myth that lossles formats sounds different ( which they per definition can not).
On topic . One of the main points of getting an squeezebox is that its indeed independent from yoyr PC's os sound card and drivers thus works independently of any software or player on your pc, no need to fiddle with asio drivers or kernel streaming. The PC hosting the server application don't need to have audio at all. Also the squeezebox is not another soundcard. The other biggie for audiophiles is that as it is network thing, that noisy computer can be somewhere else, in the basement or in a closet. Who needs a noisy pc close to the hifi ? The Radio and multiroom functions is pleasant bonus for an audiophile. The non audiophile buyer might see it the other way around. The cool thing is that it can be provided with same device :) we "only" add our favorite DAC or Processor then it's done. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBRto be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to controll this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72246 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
