I assume he simply means putting the PC far from the SB so as to avoid
noise from fans. That's not a very good reason - my PC is essentially
totally silent; it's very easy to build or buy one like that these
days.
It is easy, but I'd rather spend the money on more CDs.
Putting the PC far away is easy.
Furthermore you can have the PC far away and still use
wireless...
It is correct that distance is not an issue.
I can not get audiophile quality over wireless in my house.
YMMV
The sound quality of a wired and wireless connections is identical, so
long as the wireless network has enough bandwidth to transmit a FLAC or
WAV. That's never been a problem for my network, and if it is it will
manifest itself as a stoppage in the music, not as decreased sound
quality.
Right. Dropouts are not a small, subtle degredataion.
But they do cause a decrease in the quality of listening.
There are essentially no
bit errors due to TCP/IP error checking (both for wired and wireless).
So there is no way there can be any difference, unless you believe that
the different processing for wired versus wireless incoming data
packets affects the sound, in which case you'd better check the phase
of the moon as well.
No need to be snotty. It is about throughput.
I use wireless for my Squeezeboxes that I use for causal
listening. For my audiophile system, there is a wire.
