You guys are talking past each other. You're talking about compression levels. He's talking about the encoding (bitrate or sample size) of the digital stream itself. 24/96 is a lot more work for the decoder than 16/44.1 and the Touch is just barely capable of managing it. I get the distinct impression that FLAC was developed and optimized almost exclusively with 16/44.1 in mind. It does poorly on anything greater. At 16/44.1 the difference in processing required for -0 and -8 compression level decoding is very small. I'm pretty certain that's not the case for higher bitrate material. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77080 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
