No, no -- have another beverage (espresso, ale, wine, whiskey, whatever) and keep reading. You have to get to the part about shielded vs unshielded ethernet cable. ;o)
And as for 'Gazjam's question' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=625418#post625418), yes, I did try the mods. I didn't do extensive comparisons, but I'm not even sure I heard 'something'. So far the best I can give the mods is a 'maybe' for audible improvement under my current conditions (system, room, ears, etc). The one definite plus is that it finally pushed me to run cat5e cable to that part of the house. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 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
