Mapman - I noticed a few second delay with my Airport Express. I think they fill the buffer to prevent drop-outs in case of interference. Jitter-wise AE was tested by Stereophile and measured word jitter on digital output was respectable 250ps.
Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi?
I'm looking into a SB Touch to go with a non-dedicated PC, and to feed my preamp (so initially, I'll use the Touch's DAC).
Eventually I plan to buy an external DAC, and I'm interested in the asynch USB DACs, which are supposed to avoid jitter through that interface. There's a Touch tweak going around to turn the USB input into an output, so that would be a preferred way to connect to said DAC.
Now how about mistimmings in the data transfer (jitter) through my wi-fi from PC to Touch? Is that an issue?
Thanks!
