@carlsbad2 There’s an Ethernet input on Bricasti.
How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable
My DAC is a Bricasti M21. I would like to try streaming native DSD256 files using the DACs true 1-bit DSD.
Music is currently streamed using Audirvana on my android phone from a network switch using the DACs ethernet port with an ethernet cable. The DAC can only stream DSD256 files using its USB port. I’d like keep the ethernet connection to stream other file types and Qobuz. I can switch to the DACs USB port using the remote when I want to listen to DSD256 files.
The computer with the DSD256 files is downstairs and the Bricasti is upstairs. How do I add a cord from the network switch in the music room to the DACs USB port? Do I need a separate box in the music room that converts the network ethernet signal to a USB signal or can I use a USB-B to ethernet adapter?
I already contacted the manufacturer, but the person I talked with said they have never tried this before.

@bigby I own M3. |
@bigby there are adopters for everything. However, these adapters aren’t made with high quality audio signal in mind. Worth trying if you’re so dedicated to doing it. You can return the adapter if it’s not good. As to DSD128 vs. Qobuz…I find DSD to sound different but not necessarily better than the 192/24 Qobuz. DSD is usually softer sounding. I wouldn’t get out of my way to hunt down this sound - I rarely play DSD files. But that’s just me. Ley us know if you get around to it. |
