The total resurce utilization is similar, but the server, normally, is much more capable, and the CPU cost for decoding to pcm and upsampling at client side is greather than the network overhead. Bandwidth is the only real cons, it depends if it 's a concern for you or not. About quality we could discuss for month, but let's assume is the same. ____________________________________________________________ SB+, Klimo Merlino + Kent Gold, Monitor Audio Studio 20 Gold SE+, Klimo reference and DIS Interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
