Packet loss is not an issue at all for the Squeezebox. It buffers and automatically re-sends packets. As long as the buffer doesn't get empty it will sound the same wireless or not. The buffer getting empty will cause dropouts, like a CD skipping, playing nothing for a long time (seconds).
To help you figure out why things sound worse, we need a lot more info. * What CD player are you comparing * What amplifier * What speakers * How is the squeezebox connected * How is the CD player connected My first observation is that of course internet stream is going to not sound as good as a good CD ripped to FLAC. My first suggestion is try ripping using a "secure" CD extractor like dbPoweramp, EAC, grip, or Max. Then rip a CD to FLAC. FLAC is lossless, and will probably be better than a normal CD player because the secure extraction will protect against damaged CDs. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ http://nostatic.org/grip/ http://sbooth.org/Max/ -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58810 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
