frustrating!!!! reboot? if the pcs are detecting each other try to set up a home network try transfer large files on a home network to test connection, (setup click on home network, gives password and enter password on other pc) it will show the actual speed it saying its connected at 54mbps means f...

BTW, has anybody else tried Windows Ad-Hoc networking with Jplay? The idea being that you can connect two or more computers together without using a router - direct wifi to wifi. I tried it the other night but I was in the middle of lots of networking experiments & so can't remember why it didn...

I haven't got this PC - I was just pricing it to see what it came out at.
I don't reckon that the SOTM will have much significance to SQ with my USB devices anyway as they are self-powered & use asynchronous USB.

ya that makes sense all right

sorry about that fixed the post

just wondered what you thought of these SOTM components

thanks nige

Hi Nige, yes I got the cable and connection was straightforward. Both PC's could see each other. In order to play Jplay I need to give both PC's an IP address which I successfully did on the old P4 but the new PC insists I install a network adapter before it will let me play with IP addresses. Ther...

looked at that too interesting website but jplay on 2gb ram cant see it working as a standalone unit, as an audio pc im sure it would be fine and the cheaper case isn't as pretty. but it is an audioPC that is being talked about so it's right on spec. T2 case is exactly the same as Zuma, AFAIK. I li...

And given my experience with linux - which to my ears isn't at the races at all - it really does seem windows + jplay is the way to go. FWIW, I have seen user windowsX - he what made fideliser software - say that he thinks that a single core processor sounds better than dual/quads. Figure that one ...

Thanks Tony, BTW, have you looked at ItemAudio in the UK - he's big into computer audio & claims the Zuma design was originally their design & badly copied from them. Worth checking out. looked at that too interesting website but jplay on 2gb ram cant see it working as a standalone unit, as...

what made jplay stand out for me even in single mode over audivarna was the increase in sound stage, audivarna was more restricted for me. the worse thing is i really wanted jplay to be not as good im none too fond of windows, i have a licence for both and i will continue to use audivarna on the ma...

id imagine in the same room and in the line of sight nearly any wifi gear will be fine and there shouldn't be any speed issue, i was more thinking about stability, a cd wav file was transferring about 2.6 mb/s so a hi res file is probably twice that it would never drop below 10 mb/s actual transfer...
