YOU actually claimed FLAC was better........
LOL!!! No idea what you're talking about as I've never said such a thing
What makes it even funnier is that I've said for years that I've been using Apple Lossless thru Sonos Players................
..........but then again it was YOU that claimed a spinner would always be superior to streaming. Anyhow, moving along........
Again an INCORRECT statement
What I have said in the past is that my Meridian 800 player sounded better than the same material thru an SB3, Sonos or direct from a Media Server. I would still maintain that opinion about the 800, 808.2 and 808.3. I believe this has a lot to do with their ability to RE and Upsample at the EARLIEST possible opportunity and then transfer that data using MHR Encryption at Higher Rates, across the SPDIF Output and Input Interfaces All of which are increasingly acknowleged to cut down on the various forms of correlated and decorrelated Jitter
That's a long way different from the alleged "Spinners are always better"..............and it also coincides with the views of Meridian and lots of 80x Users on here
Bill, if you're going to start quoting people, you had better get your facts straight
