This one is easy. Minor nit first, the SlimServer (or soon SlimCenter) pulls the bits off the hard drive and streams them out the Ethernet jack to your SB. The stream is sent using TCP/IP, which has built in error correction and retransmission. So in general, bits are never lost. In reality, with some bad WiFi setups, when the WiFi gets flakey, there can be dropouts. They can be audible. But its usually not subtle, you hear dropouts and stuttering, or its perfect. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
