Great idea Dave. I've never used that before.
Phil, also play around with the settings in slimserver to have the computer vs the Touch do the decoding of compressed files like FLAC. I found that this had an effect, the computer decoded flac better than the Squeezebox, causing a very slight but audible difference where there should be none. I now know what an effect jitter has on the digital stream, and I suspect that the internal flac dedoder may mess with that timing in some way. The other thing related to that was my old Linksys 10Mbit wireless router was not able to handle sending uncompressed WAV files, so I was forced to decode flac on the SB3 unless I used hardwire link. But I already had data drop in the stereo's front wall... The difference in SQ was so minor so after a while I just didn't worry about it.
