short answer as everyone else has said before in this thread, NO Long answer: TCP data streams have have error checks, so in order for noise to introduce an artifact WITHOUT causing an error it would have to change the data and checksum so that it still passes. EXTREMELY unlikely to happen from noise. So unlikely that many will tell you it is impossible. Now you might think well maybe it was causing errors to happen. If this was the case the problem you would see is sound dropouts and/or the squeezebox disconnecting from the server. You would NOT get subtle audio changes in the sound. Now then it is still not out of the question that maybe the PSU on the switch was introducing noise elsewhere that effected your amp or squeezebox, however you said in your tests that you left it powered on. So that pretty much invalidates that theory. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
