It does automatically if you haven't fiddled to much withbthe file types settings and have a server that supports it, it has to run the flac and SoX binarie, so it's a bit cpu intense small nas boxes won't cut it. before anyone get's to carried away by comparing lossles with lossles ( yes the output is bit for bit identical, otherwise it won't be lossles ). Have in mind that both flac and alac have replaygain / soundcheck tags and the Squeezebox has a gain function you should disable when comparing. This gain funtion is to make tracks sound qually loud in playlist and as noone likes digital clipping volume adjustment is downwards to a reference level. Practical result if you have gain tags and this function is enabled wav files sound louder than flac in most cases with modern music at least they have different volume. So off with the gain function . make a playlist of the same track in flac and wav repeated several times press shuffle. Try not to sneak peek on the song names on the player ( cover it ) wav files often lack tags and you see in the playlist. Ever tried to critically listen to exact same track 2 times after each other does it sound identical to you , probably not thats how we work. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
