Those numbers are more-or-less the same as I'm seeing. You really think your network chacteristics just happen by chance to be the same as mine? I know enough about networking/TCP to say that a UDP test can be misleading or even irrelevant. What is most likely happening is that at 1Mbps, when blasting UDP, there are buffer overflow problems on the SB itself that are the cause of the loss (not the network). But, given that music is streamed over TCP, you'd need to measure TCP performance to get a sense for what that actual data transfer rate can be in practice. A UDP test measures something totally different... And seeing even 10% packet loss generally kills TCP perforance. But I'm able to stream flac files with no apparent problems, which suggests that the numbers Network Test are throwing out are bogus. garym wrote: > > This said, even 24/96 hires files play just fine on both with no > dropouts.

No dropouts or rebuffering. next > song is 3188 kbps and also plays OK) There is no way you could stream at 3168 kbps if the numbers Network Test were showing where accurate. The math doesn't add up.
