Streaming vs Physical Media

@charles1dad 

Thanks for the recommendation.  That Taiko server certainly looks well-built and unique. I haven't read the reviews yet, but I will. 

I may have to wait for a good deal on a used one or until the tech makes it into less expensive servers.  I'd love to hear one, though

How long is it going to take for the makers of streamers/servers to realize that all their hard work is being undone by a noisy signal and build a streamer/server that cleans up that signal?  It would be easier for them to do it once rather than have all the end users trying to reinvent the wheel by attaching all kinds of power supplies, cables, switches, etc.  Is any manufacturer working on this?

@lalitk

Every streamer or server out there regardless of price simply benefits from noise filters placed in between server or streamer and your router.

Yes, I have one myself. I believe the manufacturers should be able to do this better if it’s part of the design of their server/streamer, though. Maybe no one has done it yet, maybe they’re just becoming aware of the problem, like jitter in the early years of cd players?

Maybe it will take a purpose-designed router, cable and streamer system? I think someone will get it right before too long.
