I noticed this evening after having spent several days converting tons and tons of 24/96 and higher flac files to Apple Lossless that the Squeezebox Touch transcodes the Apple Lossless files to a substantially lower bitrate but does not transcode the flac files. I could even hear the difference, and though I have what I consider a nice system I don't use words like soundstage and imaging, etc... I could just hear the difference.
I'd done several experiments with converting high resolution flac to high resolution Apple Lossless and determined it was possible. Since my family uses iTunes and the Apple TV for nearly everything, I felt it would be better to have the high res music in iTunes so my wife could use it without following special instructions. On the other hand, I have also noticed the flac files higher than 24/96 get transcoded as well. Perhaps I'll check out a prior poster's recommendation to turn off flac processing on the server and have it done on the SqueezeBox instead. -- racecannon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ racecannon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51657 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91817 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
