Linn has some issues when they used multicast UDP for their multiroom protocol which were found to be caused by switches and hubs not handling multicast UDP/IP correctly. If I remember the Apple Airport Extreme and BT Home Hub 2 were particularly poor in this respect.
Does anyone with a managed switch have this issue?

No problems using Apple TV
Hi canyelles,
Don't forget that the Apple TV does resampling for 16/44.1 audio to 16/48.
PS: The Airport Express doesn't [Converted to 16/44.1 ALAC at the source] (& you can disable the Wi-Fi).
Just a FYI - Rik
Thanks, I know about the resampling, I mentioned it when I posted in the white noise thread.
I can't hear any issues though, I am happy using Apple TV until they fix the AIR bugs.
Maybe Apple will bring out a new Apple TV that leaves the sample rate alone.
