[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Ethernet vs wireless and jitter

2007-03-13 Thread mmg_fan
Hi with all the talk on digital interconnects affecting jitter, i was wondering if connecting to my SB3 via some very cheap ethernet cabling has any effetc whatsoever on the digital signal the Sb receives. Would I be better off going wireless? -- mmg_fan

No, because it is all packetized and sent via TCP. Barring some CRC collisions (incredibly rare, especially with a real data set), you will get exactly the same data on the SB as you sent. The only thing that really cheap cables would do is possibly lose or corrupt data, which will just be

The things to consider are 1) signal strength. if you have thick walls or are going through the walls at a steep angle, you may get reduced signal strength with wireless Ethernet. With very low signal strength, you may occasionally experience drop outs 2) cosmetics. Some folks consider a wire
