@tomic601 Don't go to Solana Beach. As someone from Encinitas I can tell you that those are some freaky folks!
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…. |
@tomic601 Ha, Lou’s definitely never had fiber. I’m still in SD, just waaay north SD county. Peter of PBN suggested I join as well. I’ve just never looked into it as I travel a bunch for work. To keep on topic, I just started streaming using a PSAaudio DS dac through the bridge II and I've found a good portion of this post informative. I might try one of those Ifi ethernet filters.
