Advice on 24/96 with SB3 Please.

With high datarate FLACs (24-bit or DTS), it's usually a good idea to use a milder compression level than normal, to give the Squeezebox CPU a little more leeway.

I use compression level 1 for high datarate tracks and level 7 for everything else and that seems to work fine.

If a person uses Winamp to rip to flac you need to be careful not to overly compress because it uses flake instead of the Reference Flac and is able to compress to the point of breaking flac standards and causing playback problems in lots of devices. This is from memory but thats the gist of it.
