Think of a bucket of water, with a hole in the bottom and a tap filling it at the top. If you start with the bucket half full (I'm an optimist), even if the tap is filling the bucket at exactly the same rate as the hole is emptying it, the bucket will eventually overflow or run dry. In the Real World (TM), you can never get the incoming and outgoing rate exactly the same. There are ways round this; you could reset the buffer between songs (difficult for a DAC), but actually, a SqueezeBox is just about the best buffer there is, because the input rate is dynamically adjusted to keep the buffer from under- or over- flowing. So you don't really need all this other BS stuff! -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17948 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
