I wanted to stay out of this, I just say that I don't believe there is a difference and I have good reason to do so but if others believe it, they may as well tinker with it.
I just wanted to make clear that these kind of issues are what you have to expect if you do things like that. Apart from that, there are threads on this forum which DO suggest that the network settings on the server do have an effect and since you mentioned that > My NIC was set at 100Mbps full duplex following advice given > elsewhere.

There are a lot of things that are being suggested and you will always find a lot of people who hear dramatic differences in SQ once they apply these. Good for them. Even better for certain vendors. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87973
