Ok...this is what I have found with a couple of changes 1. Changed crossover to straight thru cable on router. No difference in sound quality. I need crossover when connecting direct from NAS to SB anyway, so not musch choice if I choose to go direct
2. Changed to Linksys Etherfast router. Very noticeable difference. Same as going direct! Perhaps direct may be a tad better but I'm probably imagining it. 3. Changed decoding from flac > flac to flac > wav. There is a real improvement as well in my opioion. More analogue sounding especially in vocals and bass 4. Changed my amp to a Pioneer GClef A9. This amp is way better than my current Cambridge in resolving inner detail and soundstage. Improved sound quality quite a bit 5. Tried a Behringer SRC2496 using Belden 1694 75ohm coax as digital s/dif cable. Resampling at 88.2. I found no difference in 44.1 and 96 sounded edgy flac > flac - not real good. flac > wav huge difference in sound quality. Sticking to flac > wav and 88.2 -- maxrob200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maxrob200's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21644 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
