Thanks for your input.
The ethernet cable will make NO difference at all provided that it works (ie hasn;t been chewed by a mouse) This cable is NOT involved in the audio side of things. Normally you have a router between the PC and SB, but if you don't need a router you can directly wire them. Depending on your PC you may need a crossover cable if the PC is not auto-sensing. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38311 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
