-It is very easy to verify bit-perfect output from SB2 either by playing non-PCM material or by recording with a PC.- The only problem with this (from the perspective of audible differences) is that the bit perfect test is in the digital domain, where jitter is almost irrelevant unless gross

I'm getting 60% signal strength, but am also just about to buy a repeater. The only time I've had drop out's was when my virus scanner kicked in to do a full disk scan and a large attachmentcame in an email. So maybe just upgrade the PSU. Cheers Lee -- lilolee

lee, ime the sb2 is better suited to use with an external dac than the sb1. the clock / jitter performance of the 2 is miles ahead of the 1 and this seems to be a big determining factor. you could try reclocking the 1 but tbh the cost / effort may not be worth it. so on the whole as someone who's

You swines, I hate you (well except mkozlows). Now I suppose I had better get one :) Just don't tell the wife. Well at least they look similar so she will never notice ;) -- lilolee Cheers Lee ___ audiophiles mailing list

I found the following article which appears to be a good read on jitter... http://www.digido.com/portal/pmodule_id=11/pmdmode=fullscreen/pageadder_page_id=28/ However i'm still reluctant to say this is the culprit on this issue. From my understanding jitter is a time based issue that occurs

Gentlemen and Ladies!!! I mean just rlax, sit back and think of it ... really! Having available a reasonably priced, efficient battery power supply for the SB2 (and SB, if possible) would have people literally gobbling them up! A truly wireless Squeezebox!!! In additon to this, come up

Interesting comments, and link! Unfortunately, I haven't had time for more listening tests (and having to work this weekend, won't till late next week). However, I'm hoping somebody else (with more audio and technical know-how than I), can perform some OBJECTIVE measurements in the meantime.
