Three things work together here:

bigger buffer == more capacity to cope with interruptions or temporary "dips" in throughput
faster wireless == more bandwidth available
FLAC compression == less bandwidth required _and_ effective doubling of the already big buffer

Net result: CD audio streams fine even on the most marginal of 802.11g networks.

Hi,

I wonder if anyone who had a SB1 then had a SB2 has found dropouts to have dropped out of the picture? I know the bandwidth of G is much greater than B - but does that translate into a much more reliable signal with no dropouts?

I have my computer in the garage and the SB1 in the floor above and about 50
feet to the side. I run slim on a win. Xp box and use a belkin pre-n
wireless router. I do get dropouts and they are annoying.

If I knew how to do it, I suppose I could hook up an old d-link wireless router to the belkin and mount that under the SB1 on the other side of the
house.

Thanks,
Jim
