I don't understand this explanation. What is the 'non-linear ethernet load', and what do you mean when you say that the ethernet buffer size doesn't affect the processing load? Why would you want to reduce the ethernet buffer size? If there's anything at all in this line of enquiry, wouldn't a smaller buffer just reduce the amount of time when no streaming is taking place? Surely your aim should be to increase this time - although I realise that's probably out of the question, given the fixed ram size in the Touch. soundcheck;615164 Wrote: > > And those guys who recommended to listen to the last 15s of a track or > just just to unplug the cable, could be right about those better > sounding 15s buffer music. > Are you saying you CAN hear a difference between those final 15 seconds and the rest of the track? By the way, it's more like 30 seconds on my Touch connected to my Mac mini, even when streaming WAV. Are you seeing 15 seconds on your Windows setup? What about your Linux setup? -- chill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
