I might be wrong but I *think* it's usually in the receiver. I'm basing that purely on when I first started looking at Squeezebox a few years back and they used to list natively supported formats that were decoded by the receiver and non-native formats, that had to be trans-coded to wav before being sent to the receiver.

I think now the majority of formats are natively supported, so it's done in the receiver.

No kit worth mentioning...

Thank you, that's what I thought. I think I know what everything is doing now.  Do you ever get one of those days when you like to know what everything is doing?
