24/96 via SPDIF output on Squeezebox
Last modified: 2010-05-07 10:20:05 UTC
Although the Squeezebox hardware is reportedly incapable of feeding it's 24/96 DAC at full speed (understandably), I would like to register a request for support over the SPDIF digital output for 24/96 data, both fixed volume and variable volume. Hopefully the SPDIF hardware can operate at the required clock rate. This would be a great feature for users who have a few 24/96 and 24/88.2 recordings in their collection. Related bug 4479 is resolved, but it appears to me that the final feature request was missed due to the fact that the focus of that bug changed many times.
I agree this looks like it was ignored in bug 4479. We can see if this is possible for a future release.
Any status update on this bug? It is possible to support 24/96 and 24/88.2 output via SPDIF? If so, is it in the plans for a future release?
Brian, please be sure to vote for enhancement requests. Enhancement requests with many votes usually get reviewed before those with just a few. Adding Sean for comment if this is even feasible on Squeezebox Classic. Bug 4886 and bug 8327 are related.

All new Squeezebox products are likely to be based on the SqueezePlay platform. We do not plan to implement any further enhancements to the ip3k firmware or which are targeted specifically at ip3k-based products.
