To upgrade, or not to upgrade, that is the question


After reading the comments on ethernet cables, I am curious to what y'all would say about this setup, and should I try to improve it.  My streamer is a 70 foot run to the modem/router and I am using basic best buy ethernet cable through a floor and 2 walls.  SQ is pretty good from Qobuz.  What if anything could be an improvement?

It will be dependent on your streamer and associated system. It would be useful to know / see your system. There is a place for photos / identified your components under your user ID. Then you don’t have to keep entering the same info. As it is essential for most questions and answers.

I would install and inexpensive wall wart wifi extender next to your system with a decent Ethernet cable (DHLabs would be my recommendation). See how that sounds… may be no difference. My experience has been the sound quality is largely the result of your streamer.

I have two great systems, each running on wall wart extenders. I know of many $150K systems that do.

 

Some folks have used budget streamers and fiddled / invested in there network and connections. I think either way can get you there. I prefer a single box and no fiddling with the network. My systems run seamlessly through my wifi.
