Not wanted to be rude, but "audiophool belief" is not a kind way to name some others opinions. I do believe myself some so called audiophiles has sometime some strange way of mind, but not becouse a fool say something this mean everyone sayng the same is fool... About your question, the problem is that LMS when streaming pcm (raw or in a container) always send the slimproto stream_s command with the info coming from the original file, ignoring resampling. This fools players. My mod is a workaround for squeezelite, not the solution at all, but works. At the question "why upsampling?" my answer is I don't know, I could not appreciate the difference. Then, If we have to upsample and want the server do it, using flac as container saves network usage, but costs the added encoding and decoding cpus load. It's a trade off and better have choices. At the question "decoding flac degrades sound quality?" I could only answer with my honest opinion, strictly related to my personal experience in my and few other systems, i'm not aware of any serious survey on that matter. Do you? At the question "how it's supposed to happen?" again, I don't know. Hope is more clear. ____________________________________________________________ SB+, Klimo Merlino + Kent Gold, Monitor Audio Studio 20 Gold SE+, Klimo reference and DIS Interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
