how long for buffer?

[Hermanh]

My buffer is set to 100ms nowadays using AIR ethernet. It was set to 500 when I was still using AIR WiFi (also using an ASUS RT-N66U). @pete86, I'd switch to ethernet AIR instead of USB (or at least compare the two). I often read it is the better sounding 'input'.

I'm still getting drop outs here and there, on AIR Ethernet, at various buffer settings, using the latest firmware and AIR software on Windows 8.1 Professional. No gain in sound quality is worth that trouble. Maybe I'll try a direct Ethernet connection one day, but my current music server doesn't have WiFi, so there would be no way for me to use JRemote. I'll stick to USB for now.

I have no WIFI card or antenna in my server either.
I read that WIFI is best avoided in any music server configuration due to the extra noise it generates in the system.
I solved this by using a router with wifi in my network.
This way I have the possibility to use the ethernet connection of my music server and connect Gizmo (the Android version of Jremote) through the router without compromising the output quality of my music server.
I had no problem finding the server and enabling remote controle for Jriver.
