| WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad Wifi works fine when there are few neighbouring networks and not too much traffic to different devices on your own. In a city setting wifi tends to be challenged by lack of bandwidth and too many sources for distortion. When you have a lot of oth... | |

| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? USB connections are very susceptible to cable impedance. Could be that the shorter cable is therefore less transparent. In my messing with cables I found the Intona Reference to be the best link between server and dac. I use a 1ft version | |

(You... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? An alternative way of getting Phoenix-like benefits is to use an Intona Isolator on the USB connection and an external 10m clock on the dac. That way has the additional benefit of allowing reclocking of the Etherregen or other ethernet switches pr... | |
