Thanks for the really useful comments about the sound quality from SD cards. I have tested this, and it does seem to make a difference. Which in turn starts to point the finger at the CD player in the Beosound 4 as being the weak link, particularly because I think I get better sound quality from DAB radio. All a bit subjective, and, as one of the earlier
