I'm just tired of your Lecturing and insults....................as well as your not taking the time to read other people's posts, including mine

I'm not misunderstanding anything

In simple terms, so that you might actually read and attempt to understand................

More than a few people on the SB Forums have found EXACTLY what Rawlander found above (and you insulted him on)........i.e. that Decoding from FLAC to PCM on the Server side resulted in a poorer Sound from the System than when asking the SB Client to Decode

Just as Rawlander has above, they have toggled backwards and forwards and found the same results............SB Client FLAC Decoding >> Server side FLAC to PCM Decoding

Got that so far????

Now again, more than a few have Speculated that this is being caused by sending PCM to the SB Client; and buffer under-runs caused by issues at the Server, resulting in MORE JITTER at the SB Client SPDIF outputs, with knock on effects for the downstream processor and System Performance

The Hifi news article that Avii refers to above refers to a similar issue of higher output jitter, except this time over HDMI

Rawlander and many other others have reported issues with PCM Decode on the Server........your response has been to call him (them) crazy

Whilst you may find that others here tend to back away from your intimidatory rants, you'll find that won't work with me
