Fuze+ FLAC file support

Hello,

 

I recently purchased a Fuze+ due to the ability to handle FLAC files.  However,  after several attempts to load them, I find all I get is a unit that only says unsupported file format, or the unit goes into an indefinite reset mode, unless I delete the files.  What level of FLAC is supported by the Fuze+?  I get 24-bit, 96Khz files from HDMusic.com  Do they need to be down-converted to play on this unit?  I can’t find any info to help me on this topic - any info would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks.

Rikzter,

Your best bet is to get an older Fuze and install RockBox.  RockBox will play most 24/96 Flacs without a problem. I’ve been using the Fuze/Rockbox to listen to my collection of vinyl rips, and the sound is pretty sweet, although it is downconverted during playback.

Here’s a link for more info:

I was quite disappointed that Sandisk ignored the high-end user with the Fuze+.
