This is incorrect. A (working) switch and a (working) direct-connection will sound identical, as the timing of the packet traffic in TCP/IP is independent of the timing in the audio chain. A broken network connection would cause the SB's buffer to empty, and the music would stop or stutter, not become subtly different. maxrob200;366685 Wrote: > > I have listened to both combinations and there is definitely better > audio playback when connected directly just to the NAS It is possible that the switch is introducing some type of noise that the SB is sensitive to, but that would be a broken switch. It is more likely that you are imagining the difference. -- jeffmeh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffmeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
