[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 231969, member: 2310"] It depends entirely on the sound card (chipset) capabilities and the driver integration with OS. Most modern cards will have full proprietary driver integration under Windows (shocking, I know) so you get the 24/96 playback without much hassle. Linux, afaik, you have to work around to get the proprietary drivers (if available at all!) to integrate and in most cases you end up limited to using the generic driver (less than optimal) and maximum 16/41 rate. On the other hand, as much as I am devoted XBMC fan, I use the Sqz (a few) simply for the convinience of not having to have the TV on in order to navigate the library. Plus, the SB3 REALLY sounds great. I mean, as good as I was able to get out of digital domain. ;) [/QUOTE]
