Speaking of shortcuts, slimserver's library points to the music on my

to point to a local drive (F:) on my PC. However, slimserver does not

I had a terrible shock when I plugged my SB in. It sounded terrible.
Only by accident did I discover that this was because I'd plugged it

You're right, it could be a subjective opinion, and the SB3 is
delivering, a flatter, more authentic signal.
I'm connecting the SB3 via a TOSLINK digital cable to an Onkyo CS-V720
system (a miniature consumer set, but highly rated for sound in small

minstrel, amcluesent makes a good point. -If- (and only if) your Onkyo

Have you set the security on the slimserver?

Can you try using Softsqueeze on a PC on the same network as the SB3
