Why not push the boat out all together. Add an atomic clock to the SB2 to eliminate a clock derived jitter altogether. The clock signal could also be used to keep the SB's in synch. Instead of just synching at the start of each song, the SB's could synch regularly. Say every 4 or 5 seconds. At startup, Slimserver would hold an "election". The SB with the strongest wireless signal , lowest ping time to the server (or a wired SB), becomes the synch "master". The master then tells the other SB's how many frames ahead/behind they are and they get back in synch. This would require each SB to have a highly accurate clock source.
Also a CF or memory stick slot would be nice. You could then re-use some of your old 32/64Mb memory cards (from old digital camera's etc) to increase the internal buffer space and eliminate buffer underruns. The SB would detect any added memory and use it to download more of the playlist. 128Mb would allow you to buffer the first 50% of the next 5 songs so that FFWD is instant. I'm assuming MP3's, WMA etc. Flac users could buy a 1Gb stick. -- oreillymj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24400 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
