Of course, _many_ people - both here and elsewhere - have claimed to hear an apparent sonic quality improvement with the slimdevices units, when using a wired connection instead of wireless. Sure, they possibly might all be wrong; but if there is a difference, it would not need to be due to the data transmission accuracy (I don't know if anybody had suggested that), but would be due to some other mechanism. Some have suggested or suspected possible interactions with subsequent analog circuitry / AC interaction / etc - but I don't think anybody has ever been able to show or demonstrate such a mechanism (please correct me if I'm mistaken). I think earwaxer is also absolutely correct that ethernet can traverse much longer distances than USB without any need for signal boosters etc. Thanks earwaxer for posting your comments. :) -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
