(Except from processing the sound with a digital plug-in, obviously.) Ethernet is a conceivable transmitter of noise, but that is easily avoided in the unlikely event that it's a problem to begin with. -- Soulkeeper Noise < Music < Silence Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94199 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SBT source.. or rather the pc with the data is the source..
The short story since the very first squeezebox a decade ago one paramount design feature has been it's total independency of the server for sound quality only the quality of the files matters and it actually works. . But read the other tread first If the server + network can fill the players buffer all is ok , just try, remove the network cable at least 15 seconds of music in CD quality is in the buffer . Or actually if you are at the last song of a playlist or album and don't use any repeat setting your are listening to the buffer already, did you ever notice ;) -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SBT source.. or rather the pc with the data is the source..
Changing the psu on the router and the access point seem to have made rather a nice improvement :-) Cheers Soundcheck for the tip!!! Got me thinking, what about my old clapped out pc that is running as the server, all that mechanical and electrical noise, vibrations and smps etc... This is where the tunes initiate from ;-) if a new psu for a router makes a difference would not a new psu for the pc.. anyone played/tweeked the pc server ? Just put some vib draining feet under the old pc and it seems to have made a nice difference, rather supprised and pleased, placebo or not they are staying :-) Any more suggestions for tweeks appreciated.
