Hopefully Phil has cleared up the confusion regarding the physical nature of bits once they're in the Touch's buffer. So what do you think is going on here? This is getting into the realm of the very implausible indeed. I suppose one might hypothesise that noise from the server and router is somehow getting into the hifi system via the mains, and that subtly changing the timing of the ethernet data packets is injecting differing levels of noise into the system. So here is a suggestion to remove even that possibility: run the server on a laptop on battery power. Install something like http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/ so that the Touch can connect wirelessly directly to the laptop. Turn off your router. Now test the effect of your server settings. If you still hear a difference, please at least consider the possibility of psychological factors - such a scientifically implausible result would demand it. -- darrell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darrell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13460 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
