I only play flac and mp3 files so I have deselected all others.
There are 3 flac settings:
FLAC - FLAC - (built-in)
FLAC - MP3 - flac/lame
FLAC - WAV - flac
1 for mp3:
MP3 - MP3 - (built-in)
and 3 for wav:
WAV - FLAC - flac
WAV - MP3 - lame
WAV - WAV - (built-in)
I'm on a wired network so what should I select for the best performance/sound quality/gapless playback?
Thanks

For Flac, you can just leave it as-is. Then make sure that you don't have bitrate limiting set in your player settings.

So leave all flac. mp3 and wav options selected? I have bitrate limiting turned off and I'm using a SB3. Thx

Just select the built-in options and you'll be golden. The SB decodes both FLAC and MP3, no need to transcode.
