| Router for Audio Streaming In remote areas where there aren‘t too many networks competing for bandwidth wireless can work very well without some of the vagaries of wired connections. In an urban setting, interference however tends to be too high.,What definitely doesn‘t wor... | |
| Things I don‘t know @erik-squires that is one line of arguments, indeed. However Innuos spends enormous efforts on reclocking both USB and Ethernet connections and best I know DCM offers full external clock support for all its units. There is also a vibrant market f... | |
| Things I don‘t know &spatialking, my point on polarity was that it is determinant of sound quality but being ignored by top equipment designers 10mhz is the standard frequenzy for masterclocks controlling several components in the same system, typically by a 50... | |

| What is Your End Game System? In a rapidly evolving technology environment there is no discernible end game: rapid advances in streamer and dac design, class d amplifiers and room correction, who knows what the state of the art will be in 3 years‘ time? | |
| Router for Audio Streaming May I politely suggest you try it before opining? Your comment is otherwise useless | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply @lalitk Power supplies are a black art not easily mastered by digital engineers. | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? @mrdecibel agreed, the discussion now seems to focus on the likelihood of impedance mismatchesbetween DAC and power amp, methinks. In attenuation mode, all a pre does is add distortion if impedances are properly matched. We are finally getting s... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply I had a similar experience when switching from a Voltikus feeding my Antelope Zodiac platinum + 10M clock to a Sean Jacobs Dc3/4 linear PSU driving both the modified clock, the Etherregen and the DAC. The increase in separation, decay and attack a... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? @holmz my Dac is an Antelope Zodiac Platinum with a relay based attenuator and an output impedance of 56 Ohms unbalanced into my Wavac EC 300b power amplifier with an input impedance of 100kOhms. Hard to see where the problem might be with a 200... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? @atmasphere, many thanks for answering, a really helpful contribution. Am I right in saying that most digital devices are designed to have low output impedance? | |
| ETHERNET CABLES Yawn, I am signing off this BS | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? @atmasphere, could you kindly also get into the differences between attenuation and amplification? It seems hard to get across that most dacs only need the former whereas adding a pre by definition adds distortion. (While this may run counter to ... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @fredrik222, I can’t but find your argument pompously principled: Has the thought occured to you that heavy error correction in itself causes noise from the processor as well as time allignment issues?. You seem to have no knowledge of D/A conver... | |
| Premium SuperTweeter Cables? I run my Muratas on Paul Speltz Anticables and am very happy with the result.Conversely tuning the supertweeter in listening distance relative to the other drivers is a job requiring very careful listening and millimeter shifts. Getting them to be... |
