A word of warning on the SFTP/FTP/UTP etc evaluation.

The shield is primarily used to ward of RFI.
If that is the effect it has on the sound as maybe linn Silver vs Black than the point of earthing the shield becomes crucial.
Options being:
on the DS side
On the Router side (usually itself not earthed)
Both.
None

In all cases the danger of earthloops is real and might make things much much worse...

Oops just saw that hcl already mentioned these points :)

Something completely different:

Could please someone with an Akurate DS start his Internet Browser, enter http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:53385/ as address, and save & send me the result? (Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx has to be the IP address of the Akurate DS, if you don't know it, LinnConfig will tell you.)

This would be very kind.

Hi, it looks like you are trying to enter the homepage of the ds (you will see a lot of xml).

To do this you will need the ip address as you have suggested - but also the port number - on most re-boots this will change (in line with most ethernet products). So you will need to find this number too (you mentioned yours as 53385, but this will change quite frequently)

You can use any number of tools to do this but a really interesting free one is Intel Tools - which includes a program called Device Spy. If you run this it will list all the UPNP devices on your home network and you wil see a more comprehensive and pleasing GUI to access each UPNP device (be it NAS, ds, router, etc). You will need to allow it the usuall firewall exceptions to run properly. hope this helps, have fun!
