I don't understand the buffer memory thing, when I make a change I restart the song, I can observe the network traffic sending an initial burst of data and then a steady stream, so the buffer has been refreshed. I don't make a change and then hear an immediate difference unless I restart the song, don't know if that covers your concern above. look at this thread from the Linn forum, there is more going on with ethernet data transfer than people realise. http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=14490 It was only a few years ago that people were saying that one version of Squeezeserver sounded better than another and yet they were both bit perfect, as far as I know. So if the computer settings make a difference to the way Squeezeserver runs then it is not too much of a stretch to think that it may affect the sound as we have seen in different server versions. I can see why this is such a contentious issue, I had no idea that ethernet was bit perfect and that the SBT buffered when I started out. All I was observing were changes in the sound eg if everything is put on 1 core then the sound is more scrambled than if Squeezeserver is on dedicated cores, if the squeezeserver priority is set to idle then the sound is less focussed, if set to normal sound is better and set to real time it can sound too intense. All I am doing is reporting my results, if that is enough to draw some of the less savoury accusations then fair enough. I have no theory to back these observations, they are what they are and it is very easy for people to try a few things, if they want to. There is no reason for people to get so heated about a difference in opinions. -- SBGK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SBGK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52003 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93257 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
