The buffer value refers i think to the length of the buffer. There is a hypothesis that having a smaller buffer would, counter-intuitively, be better than a longer buffer. IIRC the idea is that every time the buffer runs out it causes some activity which leads to a change in psu load and the activity is more frequent but at a lower level than is the case when the buffer is longer. The infrequent spikes with the longer buffer are thought to be more damging. I believe this explanation was given (no doubt more cogently) by John Swenson. It may be that this is dependent on the characteristics of you netwrok and (as with all these mods) your dac. IIRC some people prefer the longer buffer. -- adamdea ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamdea's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
