But in the server case it's not really jitter as that has not happened yet ? We are not playing audio yet . That was the stroke of genius with the squeezeboxes remove playback from the computer , stuff the computer elsewhere , build players that does not depend on drivers or OS et al and with predicable behaviour . ( no fuzzing about with kernel steaming wasabi asio etc and ever changing settings ... ) You can ofcourse run player and server on the same thing/PC if you want ,but why ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
