You are much more likely to get drop outs with higher bandwidth lossless formats like Flac than with highly compressed lower bandwidth formats like mp3. For reliability an all wired setup is definitely best, two wireless hops is the worst. Most people use one wireless hop (to Squeezebox) only. With 128k mp3s you are quite likely to get perfect streaming across two wireless hops as long as you have good signal strength. With any lossless files the result is uncertain (although as Flac is decoded on the Squeezebox itself it should perform best of all the lossless formats as it will require a little less than half of the bandwidth of other lossless formats which are decoded on the computer and streamed to the Squeezebox as PCM)
