Sending music to DAC wireless vs wired

Hi Juanitox,

I believe you are called "CaptainCaverne" in France? If so, and if I understand correctly, you have used an Empirical USB/SPDIF converter before.

Are you saying that the Zardoz (via analog out) is better than a PC + Off Ramp + Pass Dac ???

Thanks.

Yes you are right my nickname in France is captaincaveman.
and yes i have used my D1 dac with many kind of PC drive , waterminal U24, OFFRAMP turbo, moded squeeze box, and the best drive i ve found was this moded airport express.. but from the day i have tried the analog out of the Zardoz , i have sold my PASS D1 dac and no longer need anything else ..

the sound is simply more natural with the Zardoz alone...

Interesting ...
Do you know if any Zardoz (or Roseta sp?) can be demoed in Paris? I have a short trip to Paris in September.

Thanks for your input.

hi hokhost , yes the best is not to trust my audiophile blah blah but listen one unit by yourself :)
i live in Cannes french riviera a little far from Paris..
but i will try to find a reseller in Paris and give it to you in P.Mail.

cheers .

My house has thick plaster interior walls and poor wireless propagation. But I have a full basement with mostly open joists. So I move audio (and other data) around my house via wired ethernet.

But I always assumed that ethernet was intrinsically better than wireless for audio anyway. Is this not the case?
