The connection between the PC and the SB3 doesn't matter. You can use wifi or wired ethernet. Wired ethernet is preferred only if you have interference issues with other wifi networks or other RF sources and it causes sound dropouts (like a CD skipping). Personally I would put the SB3 near the stereo downstairs and use a 1.5M cable. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63782 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
