That's not quite how things work. The data that finally arrives at the SB could just as well have been converted days before. It makes no difference to the SB. (Unless the data doesn't arrive at all, in which case you'll get a drop-out.) To put it another way: The SB is in no way dependent on whatever the server is up to, as long as the server manages to keep the SB's buffer from draining. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31833 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
