They may believe that an optimal wireless network with better signal strength etc, places less demands on the PSU within the Transporter and therefore may have an influence on sound. The fact that it's most likely a seperate PSU defeats that argument, but it is certainly the case that network amplifiers do consume more power in poor signal strength conditions. By the same token, I'm sure they would argue that the fact that the network side is idle during the SPDIF test had a similar effect. Is there a way to absolutely guarantee no level adjustment of the data within SlimServer, i.e no volume control, gain correction etc.? I know you can set the volume to 100% for digital output, but I quite often get clipping through my SB3 into an extrenal DAC, which I never get with the original CD into the saem DAC from a CD transport, which suggests there is a gain adjustment going on somewhere. If you could do that, then you would be more sure that you are comparing like for like input from Transporter and SPDIF into the DAC. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33276 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
