As I understand it, Klaus' mods are about a)lowering the "load" on the Touch - the idea that fewer processes = better sound; b)the wifi is turned off not because of jitter, but because it represents another "load" and also b/c of noise/RF/vibrations - interference that might result from it being on (especially if you are using ethernet anyway). In this general approach Klaus' ideas aren't very different from lots of other music server/streamer designs or mods - designed to produce the best sound possible from a given server/pc/streamer. -- firedog Tranquil PC fanless WHS server running SqueezeServer; SB Touch slaved to Empirical Audio Pace Car; MF V DAC3, MF X-150 amp, Devore Gibbon Super 8 Speakers; Dual 506 + Ortofon 20 (occasional use); sometimes use PC with M-Audio 192 as digital source.
