Additional comment: the "crunching" during startup does *not* occur with the original SB running off the same v6.0.0 server. The problem happens only with the SB2, and only when playing FLAC or OGG, not MP3. Haven't tried other file types.
Phil,
I'm not able to reproduce the problem with FLAC playback on either wired or wireless SB2, but I do hear something similar to what you're describing when trying to play SlimTris while FLAC is playing. SlimTris is triggering a large number of display updates - handling the large amount of network traffic seems to effect FLAC playback. I'm still trying to track down exactly what's happening on the box.
Phil,
I'm still not able to reproduce the exact problem that you're seeing, but I did find the problem that I describe above with SlimTris. We had inadvertantly left some debugging flags on that resulted in worse performance in certain circumstances - FLAC playback combined with a large number of client->server network transactions was one. I can believe that specific network characteristics triggers this case during FLAC startup on some networks but not others.
I've checked in a firmware fix and regenerated the nightly builds. If possible, could you download the latest nightly (http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/6.0.1/) and force a firmware upgrade? To do this, install the nightly, connect your SB2 to the server, and press & hold brightness till the firmware upgrade starts. Let me know if this changes anything.
