?? Error correction over TCP/IP happens all the time - e.g. hence why gamers/games use UDP because the there is no error correction and is therefor faster - but you can suffer from packet loss - udp has no error correction- which is why you often get parts of the image on a game is missing or there are delays etc. I was not saying the !intenet" doea not work. What I was saying is it cannot be compared to audio trasfer from transort to DAC as it's not over TCP. Therefore no error correction. Fibre backbones use error correction. I think we may be talking talking cross purposes - I'm not sure. -- mikeruss ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mikeruss's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9023 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31733 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
