I’m researching all of these suggestions, but this is all new to me. Dave and Troy- I’m not sure I understand what you’re suggesting. Thanks all. Still open to any suggestions.
PC/stereo setup and/or cable question
My PC resides approximately 30 feet from my stereo setup. I currently run a 30' USB repeater cable from my PC to my Chord DAC. The 30' cable is not ideal, and there are no good options for upgraded USB cables in that length.
I'm trying to find out if I can use an ethernet cable, convert to USB near the DAC, and use a short USB into the DAC.
OR, if there's another option I could use to achieve using a short USB cable.
My setup is as follows: NAS>ehternet cable>PC>USB cable>DAC>interconnects>amp.
I tried a Bluesound streamer, but wasn't a fan of the sound.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
