Great questions: - I'm running LMS on my QNAP NAS. That was my first change. Since I did that, everything seems to move faster -- the GUI on the Duet controller and Touch. Plus the songs load faster so I love this change. It's got a 1.6Ghz CPU with 512DDRIII so I believe that is powerful enough, yes? - When I take out the Receiver and just do the touch wireless, I get no dropouts on 92/24. However, in that same scenario, when I moved to the 192/24 files, I did get dropouts. So I just purchased a powerline solution from netgear and now no dropouts to the touch on 192/24. And with the powerline attached to the receiver and wireless to touch (again running 96/24), I'm still getting dropouts but far less than originally when it was all wireless. So frustrating. So an interesting observation: when I had the powerline to the touch, I would consistently get a wired connection each way of about 50Mbps. However, with the powerline to the receiver in the exact same spot, I'm getting 18/19 from the router to the receiver and about 38Mpbs from the receiver to the router. Regardless, I'm getting a touch. F the receiver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dhallag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30845 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101270 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
