I have had similar experience. I'd also stress the need for the high quality SPDIF cable (true 75 Ohm) for a higher level of sonic refinement.

Also, try feeding it files right from a computer (16bit/44.1kHz or more) rather than a spinning disc -

I am against wireless for health reasons (I believe that one day the truth will come out). My computer is far from my theater and I have no plans to change that.
Plus, now that I have this magic I don't want to change anything and mess it up.
But digital radio is starting to sound better now also.

  I agree about the health concerns with wireless, problem is, its everywhere. I'm able to connect to both of my next door neighbors wifi. So there is just about no escaping it.

    I run hard wired ethernet and use a Squeezebox 3 for most listening, and you certainly won't have to use WiFi with a computer ... hardwired ethernet works great and doesn't suffer from interference.
    (I find that network loading has a big effect on sound quality - so try to minimize wifi for that reason).
    But if you are completely satisfied with your sound reproduction - then really nothing more is to be done! :)

    I'm lucky that I'm in the country away from most of the RF that we are bombarded with without our permission. But, I agree that city dwellers are drenched in it 24/7 (me too, at work, etc.)
