I for one am going back to flac streaming on the SBT. I think we have proved that you can max or get close to maxing the the CPU when streaming 24/96 PCM - am thinking that the network stack must be not very good to eat more CPU than the FLAC decoder, and/or FLAC decoding is very efficient!.

Certainly if all of these mods are supposed to improve the sound by reducing CPU load, at least we know this tweak does the opposite.
