Just give at try , digital ouputs should be transparent . And the SoX transcoding library oms uses is known to be good , it should kot assert any particular signature . Unless you want to (its endlessly tweakable ) . Of topic if want to experiment with your DAG and rpi3 with a digital output board can be fun. You can then set squeezelite to output the maximum rate that the dac can handle for any file and say set the volume -3dB while doing it if you for example suspects that your dac does not handle intersample overs properly or use esoteric filters like apodising. Agread that could lead to endless tweaking for nothing . But a Pi can do that if your inclined to try such things. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
