Apologies - I've been rambling (as usual). Yes, I can now stream full 24/96 PCM as PCM rather than native FLAC. I tried using Autonegotiate with any speed limit, and that works fine as well.
Previously I could not stream 24/96 PCM as PCM, although everything else worked, so it was only at the highest quality that I had audible problems. Using Microsoft Network Monitor I can see that now I am not getting frequent retransmits, which I was before (even using FLAC and at lower bit rates). This is good. So for my PC and Touch, setting a fixed speed on the NIC wasn't a good idea (even using a direct connection without any network involved). I had previously been advised to do this for other reasons unrelated to SB, but SB users also recommended it. I'm sure it works for some people, but one size does not seem to fit all (presumably since most PCs are different from other PCs in some way or another!). Thanks to all who have helped and cajoled me into finding a solution. -- PasTim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 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
