The SB3 must be a pretty advanced device -a small computer in fact. As a user I have no real insight into what is going on in there. Are there not possibilities of processes misbehaving -CPU hogging, for example, screwing up (to some degree) real-time demands? Perhaps looking into the more advanced debugging options could be a possibility to see if things are problematic? Can Slimserver alter play back quality on the fly (or after pause) if bandwidth is decided to be too low? Or is the transcoding option a static function only? (I haven't used this feature much.) Just a couple of thoughts while we wait for the results of that double blind test. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
