Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me?
yyzsantabarbara,Depending on the protocol / app, most audio over ethernet will retry, and most buffer to give time for retry.  If streaming locally, odds are you almost never need retry. 
Bent Slightly Out of Shape
@discnik ,How are you liking the TD-160?  Friend asked me to put together a system for her son for christmas and I have an opportunity for a TD-160 MKii at what I thought was a really low price ($275) and appears to be in good shape. Her son likes...

@kijanki ,Unless I am mistaken (definitely could be), as the op was talking about networking connections, I believe he means fiber optic network I/F not fiber optic SPDIF. As well MSB offer fiber optic isolated USB I/F.TOSLINK is typically slow, t... 
Is there any merit in former SOTA gear,
Old cars are nice to look at, fun to drive occasionally, but if you are going to compete at the track, you are going to go new, and that new "daily driver" is more comfortable, handles better, faster, and is better on gas or at least 3 out of 4The... 
Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me?

Best 80s New Wave

*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
3. I have tried to explain it, but some are not happy. Is it just coincidence that the traces track characteristic impedance quite closely?No, you basically started with a conclusion and then attempted to make the data match without correlating, o... 
Mistake to change from Spectrum (Coaxial) to Fios (Fiber optical)???
Auralic is just a streamer? You have external DAC?Potentially some incompatibility between the Auralic and your what I assume is your new Modem/Router?  If a new Modem/Router, since you have it hard wired, and throw in a DAC there, there could be ...
