Yeah - Unless he can prove that the extra power required to run the wireless NIC as opposed to the wired one (and I don't even know if the un-used NIC gets turned off, so this could be moot) degrades the ability of the SB to do it's thing...
To give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he's assuming that wireless will drop out more, since it'll have more discarded packets than a wired connection? But statements like "A hifi dealer in Gothenburg claims that the SB is quite sensitive and can sound like a good MP3-player when using wireless.. and like a £500 CD-player wired." lead me to believe that it's more than just proper vs. improper operation, but actual subjective sound quality improvements. Now, maybe if the SC -> SB connection was UDP (opaqueice, I always thought this was Universal Datagram Protocol, but maybe the D is for Donkey?), and here I am assuming it's not...can't remember off top of my head, but I can't imagine it is...I can see where wireless would be problematic. But so would wired, most likely, depending on how much bandwidth you're needing. I have found that by using a permanent marker to draw a circle around the outside of my CDs, I can get Transporter level performance out of my iPod. So I would recommend doing that. ;-) -- androidtopp My SB3 is the most expensive part of my stereo. So I'm not going to brag about it. http://www.last.fm/user/androidtopp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ androidtopp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19681 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53207
