The best way by far to get music out of a player
Such as mine the most cost effective and superior setup vs my last
Setup. Ethernet for me is just to use Wifi to my Ipad to direct my library and router.
Direct connection is allways best for performance,streaming is nice for casual listening. Maybe some day it will be equal
The Auralitti digital player,Mytek dsd digital dac WD external hd
Best cables to use Wireworld platinum USB -hd-Auralitti pk-90 player ,
Then Audioquest Diamond firewire from player to Mytek
This setup is 1/2 the price of the Bryston setup I had and sounds better.with less glitches,by far,Auralitti wrote the basis code for the Bryston bdp.
P.s use quality powerords also.
Tip of the day check out brick wall.com for connecting all digital, preamp
Dvd player , for $250 bettered units well over $1k.
