Michael, Your explanation is clear and sound. After reading some posts on this issue though, my little "electronics alarm bell" started tinkling in my head and I think that even though your explanation is true, they might have a point. These are the interesting points I saw brought forward: 1. It isn't distortion or anything like that but we hear the wifi data-transfer as noise-bursts during playback. 2. When we switch to wired this stops because the wifi transceiver is powered down. Later on, this power-down was confirmed by someone from Slim. To my engineering diagnostic mind, this sounds like --possible-- noise feedback from the wifi transceiver to the analog part of the SB, via the internal Vcc power-feeds or GND. I do not hear this on my Duet, but maybe my ears are really bad or my SB doesn't have the problem. It would be interesting to know if these fellows can still hear it when using S/PDIF out instead of analog. It would be really nice if they put a spectrum analyzer on their analog out and determine the frequency components of the noise. Anyway, both you and them can both be right without conflicting each other's statements. cheers, Nick. -- DeVerm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DeVerm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18104 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53207 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
