Max. Compression Ratio for FLAC?

[Cartman_Sr]

Hey,

I'm getting ready to archive all my cd's to Flac, and to buy a Squeezebox. I'm wondering if there's a maximum compression ratio that the Squeezebox can handle with flac files. I want to use level 8 compression, and I've heard that some other hardware flac decoders can only decode files that are compressed to like, level 3. Thanks.

I'm using flac files compressed to level 8 and Squeezebox has handled them just fine.

I believe the decoder software in the SB3 is ported from the full codec so it can handle pretty much anything the currect FLAC release can through at it.
