Yes , that's the thing there is no way the LMS server can subtly influence the sound either it is up to the task to fill the players buffer which is >30 seconds or it's not .
And there is whole can of worms with drivers , kernel streaming wasapi drivers etc ? And whatnot the squeezebox system just bypasses it's basically designed to be server agnostic and it is . For non squeezebox based PC audio there are things that would need to be adressed like getting bit perfect output and bypass mixers in the OS and adress the conected DAC or sound card directly etc . My knowledge of this is not current I got myself a squeezbox so I don't have to worry about this :) that's another topic but if you use the machine for other things than LMS it migth be of interest to you . If you have reliable wifi you can keep using that , however that's usually don't last :) so I tend to use Ethernet to stationary equipment ,this is not subtle either if wifi goes bad you get buffering not subtle sq differences . Which version of Win 7 is going to be unsupported ? In many corporate environments we just got to Win7 pro . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
