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!

This thread went offtrack to WiFi discussion, but does the OP suggestion of using the USB on the Touch as an output make sense when it as a perfectly good SPDIF connections, both optical and coaxial?

Awa54;

I have read that the Touch does not do well with large music collections through it's USB port because of the hardware just isn't as fast as a dedicated server.
