Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming?


I’ve struggled for a long time with sound getting much, much worse around dinner time, and in some rare cases I don’t get depth, clarity, dynamics and imaging back until around midnight. Like many people I’ve attributed this to noise on my AC lines. But recently I’ve been wondering if maybe internet service quality is at least contributing to the issue in some manner. When I run tests it appears that speed, jitter, and latency are all higher at times when the sound is poor. That got me wondering if anyone knows whether one type of internet service is better than another for HiFi streaming? For example, is ADSL or DSL better, or does it matter? And what about speed? Particularly interested in anyone who has real world experiences from experimenting in this area…

nyev  did you say you had measured the power to see how bad it is?

Ever try an ADD-POWR  Sorcer X4 ?  They seem to work well with bad power  systems.

If you live in the NW or So Cal I can help you try one.

I recently attended a demo of Shunyata Altaira $3k. This works to correct

noise caused by poor grounding. No idea what your issue is but I will

say that demo provided the best sound I have ever heard. Go Shunyata!!
