    can we get the latest version of sox?

    Is there any chance of getting sox 14.3.1 into 7.6? (I think we are on 14.3.0?) - it fixes a bug in 24-bit flac handling.
    You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

              During up/downsampling via the sox RATE command, sox doesn't produce 24-bit flacs as output even if you tell it to. I get round this by using sox to produce 24-bit pcm and then using flac.exe to create the flac for streaming. It would be nice to get rid of the extra flac.exe process...

                      1) it is a very easy fix..
                      2) you can integrate yourself... actually, it is just replacing the sox.exe in binaries..

                      I am more frustrated about (lack of) NAS support

                          But you can't just replace the sox.exe? - it's a specially compiled version?

                                  hmmm I'm confused. The sox.exe (14.3.0?) installed by SBS is 4,692kb whereas the sox.exe I downloaded as 14.3.1 is only 2,429kb...

                                      sox can be built with or without some modules (there are some conditionals there).

                                      Actually, I see my sox (and I added few things like polyphase from from 14.2) is also 2.12MB

                                      Does it work, what you've downloaded?

                                              It does work - thanks, Michael. The filesize differnces are because the SBS version has the DLL's statically linked.

                                                  How exactly does SOX work?

                                                  I have a large number of 96/24 Flac encoded files, which I stream to my SB3.

                                                  How exactly does SOX work? Does it simply strip every other "bit" or is there something more sophisticated going on "under the hood" in the SBS?

                                                  Sorry for asking but I am not that technical :-)

                                                      I guess you meant "every other sample" :-)

                                                      I'm not sure we can explain exactly how SOX works if you aren't that technical...

                                                      you can read this: http://leute.server.de/wilde/resample.html#DownSampling

                                                      or you can just be assured that SOX does a very very good job of downsampling (and indeed upsampling).
                                                      You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

                                                          Before someone asks more questions about "Polyphase"
                                                          The sox team didn´t remove it cause of some strange politics. The recent rate effect at vhq is simply more precise and adds less noise.
