"I know one thing, that I know nothing" (Ancient Greek: ἓν οἶδα ὅτι οὐδὲν οἶδα hèn oîda hóti oudèn oîda) said Socrates about Genuine Wisdom (see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_that_I_know_nothing)
Don't want to judge who is wiser in this thread though I have my own opinion. Bit perfect signal reconstruction before buffering is no doubt as far as TCP/IP takes care of it. But who can claim he has the knowledge to answer the following questions? 1) Why does some Ethernet cables have different throughput? Is this not related to the noise they are carrying on? What happens to this noise when it reaches the Touch? Can't he interfere in any way with the perfectly reconstucted signal in the signal path between the input buffer and the digital output? 2) Doesn't packet loss and retransmission, packet jitter, packet size, round trip delay,... cause CPU load that can in turn potentially cause interferences with the perfectly reconstucted signal in the same signal path? The one who can give perfect and scientific answers to these questions can wisely claim that bit perfect data means perfect signal output. The others, if they think they are wise, should rather keep quiet... or experiment to see if they can find some factual evidence to sustain their claims. Now I guess you can judge by yourself who I think is wiser ;) -- evdplancke ------------------------------------------------------------------------ evdplancke's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93257
