I think a 50msec changeover is a bit irrelevant to a TCP connections as long as the basic comms link stays up. If there is a glitch which results in packet corruption/loss, TCP will arrange retransmissions as long as the TCP connections is maintained. If the retransmission can occur such that the missing packet arrive in time, then there will be no gaps in the audio.
If the changeover resulted in some loss of sync or similar which resets the TCP connection then there would be a problem regardless of the amount of buffering. So if you are demoing that "physical" comms path can be changed (e.g. onto a different fibre in a SDH ring) without interrupting/breaking/resetting the TCP connections, the SB will be ideal and the amount of buffering won't really matter. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32248 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
