This is probably a problem with the bandwidth of the station itself and not with your SB setup. In 'Settings > Advanced > Network' you can try increasing the size of the radio station buffer and timeout settings. -- ds2021 All your bass are belong to us. ---

The behaivor the user saw was not intermittent - it behaved like it had a very weak signal. It may have been a temporary glitch. It's wierd though that power cycling it the first time didn't help. I wasn't until you swapped out the SB3 and then put the SBR back that the problem went away. --

No, they use different power supplies. The SBR I believe uses 9V and the SB3 uses 5V. The reason for the difference I seem to recall is the different DACs in each. Could the issue be that the receiver is too close to the WAP? I recall another user in these forums having connection problems and

I recently moved my receiver - it's now 6 feet above the wireless access point. I first saw good signal - 70% plus or minus. Yesterday, suddenly, the signal was 10-30! Moving it around did little. Power cycle did nothing. Today, as an experiment, I put an SB3 in the same place. 70% signal.

The cost of the SB3 has dropped considerably. I can be had from Amazon for ~$230. If you really think you'll have no use for the receiver, you could always sell it on EBay. I would think you would be able to get at least $120 for it. The receiver by itself goes for $150. On my hi-fi equipmen

-Erm... the two units have different DACs, don't they? - True; although most seem to agree the differences between them are negligible. MikeekiM: another thought; is to get a SB Classic (SB3 or SB2) in conjuction with a SBC (Controller). It's a great setup; albeit a bit expensive. -- pnharris
