My radio universe will inevitably involve tracks with differing sample rates and bit depths. When tracks play through to the end, the transition to the next track is seamless: a slight click, and off we go.
Not so if I should fast forward to the next track, though. If the new track is not the same specs (e.g. 192/24) the DAC won’t shift gears, and the track will “play” silently.
IMO, these two events – go to next track, and fast forward to next track – should behave similarly.
Yes, latest builds, WOO/ MFI. And, let it be known that the latest build virtually eliminated all such behavior. So this feels like an oversight to me. Or user error.
