a redbook CD is 16/44.1. Some people play 24/96 or even 24/192 files (so-called High-Res files). These may or may not be better (if they do sound better it is often because the *mix* is different not because of the track format. Different squeezeboxes can play different maximums. All (actually not sure about SB1 & SB2) can play 24/48. Transporter and Touch can play 24/96. Touch with EDO can handle up to 24/192 into an appropriate DAC. Radio can play 24/48. If one plays a stream that a player can't play (e.g., 24/96 played to RADIO), LMS will automatically downconvert on the fly (24/96 converts to 24/48 in the background). p.s. the "implication of mysb.com support" is a pretty weak connection. Like you I hope mysb.com and SB continues a long life, but the smart radio upgrade ability speaks more to the disaster of UE Smart Radio rather than any long term commitment to mysb.com. Logitech is a big company and will do whatever they think will use their resources to make the most profit. Even in the best years, Squeezebox products were "rounding error" to Logitech's business profits. *Location 1:* VortexBox Appliance 4TB (2.2) > LMS 7.7.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.2) > LMS 7.7.2 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > SqueezePlay *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S (iPeng), iPad2 (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99214 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
