How can you say that Phil? A streaming redbook WAV takes 1.35 Mbps; if it's encoded to flac it will be less than 1 Mbps. The wifi link can handle 54 Mbps so even with 10 simultanious streams there will be enough left for other applications. Also, most (all?) wifi routers will allow you to prioritize some data-traffic so you could give priority for audio. I agree that many people run into wifi problems but that's not caused by wifi not having enough throughput... it's because the wifi system isn't working well or isn't configured well or is not compatible with SB which is the hardest pill to swallow. cheers, Nick. -- DeVerm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DeVerm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18104 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53018 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
