Ethernet connection for best sound quality


As far as I'm aware of for streaming audio with tidal hi fi plus ethernet. I need; besides modem and router.

1) A Streamer

2) A ethernet card specifically for audio jcat or matrix if I use my computer

3) Shielded ethernet cat 5 or better cable

So from wall to modem to router to streamer to dac, correct?

@antigrunge2 that “white paper” is a joke and has been debunked many times over. In fact, John Swenson has been ridiculed when he was forced to admit he made up a bunch of terms that mean nothing. 

@akg_ca stop linking that same garbage article. Just because because you post it everywhere doesn’t make it true.

@akg_ca but you are utterly unqualified to do

any test like that, so it is garbage. It would like saying I did randomized control trial of the weight loss drug, sure, I did it, but it doesn’t mean anything because I am not qualified to conduct such a trial.

@antigrunge2 thank you for stopping, no one needs to read fictional “white papers” that have been debunked. 

@cleeds but should they, really? Look at this thread, someone wants to get started with streaming, and it took five posts or so before people started with the “you must have audiophile Ethernet products”.
