Ways to make your digital streaming sound better


Having tried a lot of different methods including fiber optic , sonically Conventional 

Quality ethernet cable sounds more realistic , first at your modem router combo -get rid of the $5 wall wart it is nothing but added noise . Little green computer sells a decent 8 amp 12 v type for $300, that was much better , better still was the                 Linear Tube Audio LPS , on your router it states the voltage and most are around 4 amp. These LPS  go to 8 amp for $700 on Audiogon .  Then you need a respectable Ethernet switch,the best one I have found has a LPS built in as well as a OCxo clock -LHY -SW8 , you need 2 Ethernet cables ,your best one goes to your Streamer ,that’s where it makes the biggest improvement . 
with the latest Eversolo DMP -A8; really made a nice improvement just by doing these few things  many Audiophiles overlook .your streamer will thank you as well as your ears . Excellent streamer dac -preamp for under $2k .Many Excellent reviews . a mini review to follow

@tko956 Well , i like Encinitas as well… Lou’s records probably doesn’t have fiber….

IF you are still in the hood, consider joining the SD Audio guild or meeting for java, talk audio and music….

 glad to be of service.

speaking of….in my lowly setup the SGC fiber conversion… admittedly w over the top Pardo LPS beats ethernet into my Nucleus…. but i haven’t tried any of the various ethernet filters…. which i plan to do…before exhibiting tosh like behavior 

preferably at light speed… even an Amazon converter should do the trick…

i shall ! iF i head South to Solana Beach, i can appreciate the full toshness of an entire community converted to …. fiber

Lord, i even know audiophiles who dwell there… scallywags as they might be

thanks for the education
