How do you know that Sooloos sends FLAC files rather than decoded uncompressed files on the network?

This has been covered before in our previous discussions on exactly the same subject
a) A contact at Meridian explained it in that manner to me when I met him at my Dealer back in June. I asked him simply to explain the advantages that the ID40 brought to the party
b) Carl (our Global Mod) had the same thing confirmed to him when he was discussing his purchase of a Control 15 and 861v6
c) Two of the Meridian Dealers who regularly post here said the same thing in different posts
In our August discussions on this very subject, I said that the advantage of the ID40 was that it eliminated Source Jitter at the SPDIF Outputs as well as Processor Input Jitter at the SPDIF Inputs
As you know, you took a different view and specifically said that you would achieve equal performance from your own SB Client over SPDIF into your 808.3. We both know what you subsequently posted after a few listening tests
