Won't make any difference. Ethernet does not lose any bits. Stream goes literally via hundreds of switches, converters, routers, coax, fiber, satellite links and nothing ever gets lost.

@antigrunge2 I well understand now networks operate. I don’t need “opinions”. If there is benefit, it should be described properly, as in what exactly the device does and how does it benefit the unit hardware and software in terms of network operation. I am yet to hear that. And it is a free country. |
@dean_palmer of course it does. This is why the network is designed with recovery. Surely, if you unable to own files from cloud or Netflix is broken, then yeah, time to check cabling and equipment. It is a pretty trivial test - like copy large file few times to cloud and back. Is there a performance degradation? File comes corrupted? No? Then you are good. |
@antigrunge2 so educate me. RF noise affects all types of data. If that is the case, transmission of plain test files would be affected. You do know that no stream is transmitted point to point or as a complete file. Everything on the net is sliced, diced, and send in packets possible routed via different servers and switches. Noise may affect contents but then data is discarded and retransmitted. In no way receiver ever gets different bits than stored on the server. Router does not know if data is music, your kid game stream or your wife web browsing. Or should Amazon place an order for millions of silencers, cryogenic Ethernet cables for their data centers? They handle lots of music you know. That Tidal does not run its own servers. Amazon, Microsoft, Google. All on 1 cent Ethernet cables… how do they manage? |
