There are two conceivable ways in which the computer can affect sound quality. In tha vast majority of cases, both are negligible.
The ethernet cable can transmit noise, but ethernet is designed not to do that. Anyway, a switch or other component between the computer and the Squeezebox would isolate the SB further from the computer. Using wireless would eliminate that potential problem altogether. The power supply unit of the PC may be bad and noisy, and inject noise into the mains. This could be picked up by the amp or other analog component in the analog sound signal chain. But your house is probably full of electronic equimpent with the potential to do the same thing, so it doesn't necessarily make sense to focus especially on the PC in this regard. You'll probably gain much more, with a lot less effort, by focusing on the acoustic properties of the room, and your speakers. And/or consider digital room correction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94603 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
