Consider changing the long run of ethernet cable to fibre from the Etheregen.
Value of a premium Ethernet cable
In my current setup, digital music from a Roon ROCK NUC server travels through an Uptone Audio EtherRegen and a short link of fiber, thence to a long stretch of ordinary contractor-grade Cat 5a cable, and finally to a dCS Bartók streaming DAC.
At substantial effort and expense, I could rearrange things so the final length of Ethernet would be replaced by a single run of something like an Audioquest Vodka Ethernet cable. I'm wondering if anyone has experience of whether this is worth the trouble and expense. Well mostly the expense; the "trouble" is the hobby part of it.

That looks like the HD Plex 300W. I nearly took that route. Are their DC cables okay? When upgrading, I initially went for Ghent Audio Cables. A decent product for reasonable money. https://ghentaudio.com/products/dc-7n16c?VariantsId=11241,11264,11286 |
