I use an ibook and like the portability of a notebook, so when I buy an external drive to serve my music files, it would be great to use a 802.11g networked drive instead of having to plug a drive into the laptop and into the wall.Generally, is there any loss in quality in such a setup? It seems that the consensus is that using 802.11 is transparent, but is it transparent going from the HD to the laptop, and then back out to the DAC?
Thank you for sharing your experience.
