4.2.7 is not the latest iOS for iPhone. The newest is 4.3.2
I should clarify that I have the Verizon iPhone, so it's not GSM--it's limited to 4.2.7.
But good news: I got a 24/96 file to play in FLAC Player! It was such a beautiful moment when I heard the intro to Bill Evan's Waltz for Debby, which was recently released by HDtracks.com in 24/96--an absolute classic recording that has never sounded better.
So it must have been the update for older iOS iDevices that fixed it. I also tried a few 24/88 files, and they also worked. Amazing.
I have to say kudos to Dan for ironing out the bugs. Now with hi-res playback, the iPhone + Solo is a sick package. Best $10 I've spent in a long time.
Are there any advantages to ripping my files to ALAC using iTunes first, then transcoding to FLAC (with something like dBpoweramp) vs. using EAC to rip directly to FLAC?
You can also get various free hires flac files on naimlabel.com
I purchased the latest FLACplayer 1.1 & installed it on my 3rd-gen 64GB Touch this week. Currently playing the handful of free 24/96 sampler files from HDtracks and High Definition Tape Transfers (HDTT) without a hitch. Still getting used to the dynamic range on a portable device. This is gonna be fun.
Hi do you use any portable amps for your iTouch? I am still hesitating, since it seems the DAC and other components in iTouch are not that great.

Curious, why do you consider the DAC in the iTouch below par? What portable device would you consider "better" in that area & why?
