I'm just wondering if the caliber of the computer one uses affects the
quality of the sound coming out of the Squeezebox unit?
If yes, how best to handle it and if no, why not?

No, it doesn't. The only way it can affect 'sound quality' is if it's so
slow or overloaded with other tasks that it can't keep the audio buffer
sufficiently filled on the Squeezebox and you experience dropouts.
Otherwise, it just needs to keep feeding data across the network, which
is trivial

If it did, the quality of the Internet would be affected by all the
rubbish computers connected to it..

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't what you'd call minimal...

In about the same way as the calibre of the computer affects your
banking records and the print quality of your word-processed documents.

The data is perfectly delivered to the Squeezebox - unless the computer
is so inadequate that it is incapable of delivering that data.
Now, this is very different to what happens next. The data ceases being
*just* data, and becomes clocked data - data AND a time

In fact, paragraph 1 is wrong: the SB player will merely exhibit
'buffering' behavior if the computer is not fast enough (either on the
network or in transcoding.) By definition TCP/IP (mostly the TCP part)
will not allow errors in transmission and the SB player is
