Hi everyone,
If this has been covered somewhere, maybe someone could direct me to it.
I am simply trying to get WAV files (most all of them ripped at 16bit/44000 from CDs) from MC17 (via the Whitebear controller and ethernet cable) into my Squeezebox Touch (and from there into a standalone DAC), but no matter what output settings I try in MC17, the Squeezebox describes the files as MP3s at 320BPS. And they don't sound so great, so I can believe they really are MP3s reduced in resolution. On the other hand, If I use the Sqbox's media database directly, bypassing MC17, the files are listed properly as 16/44000. I do almost nothing with MP3s-- try to use WAVs or FLACs wherever possible.
Am I missing something? I love the MC interface, but surely it should be possible to get the files out in their best-sounding native form....
Any help much appreciated--
Tim N.
