Themis - check one of my previous posts - according to Andy, when using wired, the wireless radio gets disabled.
wilgartw - increasing bit rate has nothing to do with overcoming packet loss. The connection to SC is over TCP, so any discarded/malformed/not recieved packets get re-requested. Eventually all the data will get there. The question is just how long it takes. If his wireless is unreliable, then higher data rates means a higher likelihood that enough data packets get lost to cause the buffer to empty and the sound to stop. Packet loss won't make it sound worse (as in, less clear, muddier, not as bright, etc, etc), unless you count no sound at all as "worse." The claim is that somehow, wireless makes the quality of sound worse than wired. As both media types use the same guaranteed traffic method, we're (or, at least I am) assuming 100% data delivery that's "different sounding" when recieved wired vs. wireless. -- 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 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
