Okay, I read a lot of bull in this thread but I just can't let this pass without jumping into the boat ;-) RFI means it's nasty stuff at radio frequencies. Now please someone explain me how a transformer can block that. The unshielded ethernet cable will actually introduce -more- RFI into the SB compared to using a wifi-link. Maybe they mean that by not using wifi this wifi-signal doesn't get into the box? Well, maybe if you throw your wifi-router in the trash plus those of all your neighbours etc. because as long as the SB isn't in a Faraday cage that stuff will all get in there so better put it to use. Can I come out of the boat now? ;-) Nick. -- DeVerm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DeVerm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18104 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53207 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
