| Ethernet Clocking @imcmalo, you’ll forgive me when I believe what I hear rather than what you postulate. This is getting old fast and I distinctly feel that old @cakyol is hiding behind this new moniker. Read the full quote and you’ll see why it’s there | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? Using the Zenith MK3 as both Roon server and endpoint over-taxes the low powered CPU chosen for noise and distortion issues by InnuOS, particularly if used with DSP. In direct comparison the Sense app has substantially better SQ, albeit at the pri... | |
| Ethernet Clocking Her is John Quick of DCS as quotedby Austinpop on the merit of external clocks: We began to employ external master clocks due to our experience in the pro arena, where there are generally numerous clocks running simultaneously, thereby making ... | |
| SET the best? @mozartfan , in the video running both a coax tweeter and a second tweeter in paralell off-axis will reult in a blurred soundstage, partial cancellation of frequencies through overlap as well as issues of phase coherence. I’d suggest to use a sup... | |
| Pimping your router The Etherregen should be directly in front of your streamer; the connection via Meicord Opal as short as possible. Rather than use a repeater consider using an Apple Airport as a repeater. Repeaters going via the power lines collect all sort of no... | |
| Ethernet Clocking @lmcmalo @cakyol , the difference between pure digital transmission and audio lies in the analogue domain, where there is no buffering and noise from the digital domain creates havoc, The only way to detect that reliably is using your ears. To t... | |
| Ethernet Clocking @sns, cheap switches don’t have good clocks and I am afraid that’s what you heard. I am no friend of additional devices and connections unless it’s clear why they contribute | |
| Ethernet Clocking @lalitk, you are right, however my system is somewhat idiosyncratic and the result of a continuous improvement process over many years. It goes something like this: Digital: Router on LPS->DXE Pro Ethernet filter->Ethernet Cat8->Uptone... | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? Maybe because he wasn‘t dim? | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @anzaanimalclinic , totally agree on the importance of clocking, also and particularly on the Etherregen. One other tweak worth mentioning: inserting an Acoustic Revive RLT-1 Ethernet terminator into the second RJ45 removed quite a bit of edgines... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @yyzsantabarbara, not everybody likes the Lumin sound and operating system and the choice of fiber-only servers/dacs at the moment is still limited. Also, not all networks are fiber-optics and for those still coming off copper the optical convert... | |
| Cat 5 - 6 -7 or 8 @eric_squires, your answer applies in low density, rural areas. Anywhere else, and in particular near radio and telephone masts I'd stick to shielded. | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @arafiq pls see my previous post re: InnuOS Phoenix USB. The utility is very much dependent on your DAC’s clocking accuracy and USB implementation. USB is a compromised transmission format; increasingly people consider going all fibre to the str... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @lalitk agreed, the benefit of an Etherrregen is both complete isolation via the mold and high quality upgradeable re-clocking. @jerrybj , the solution your friend proposes works only very occasionally: network repeaters suffer from high an... | |
