| eARC when using Roku @guyt I also run fiber optic HDMI cables for every gaming system I own (Switch, Xbox Series X and PS5). Still using copper for my video streamers though. I already own AQ Carbon and Vodka 48, so may as well keep using them. But no issues with t... | |
| A different world Ohhh man what I went through last year to get my s$%t wired up... Changed my entire LAN from copper to fiber, new router with SFP+ port and all fiber-switches. And all gear, switches, router, FMCs and EtherRegen have linear power supplies. What ... | |
| eARC when using Roku I've personally found things better running in through the TV and then out via ARC. But not always. Your SSP is pretty top level, so I can't imagine their video switching/passthrough isn't done right. With some setups, I would get more judder r... | |
| Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review @jl1ny I will say that an EtherRegen which I inserted into my all-fiber LAN recently made little/no difference. For reference, I noted immediate/obvious differences when adding in LPS's to my upstream components. Router, Intel NUC and every one ... | |
| Does ethernet switch quality matter when using fiber connection? Not enough information about your LAN or streamer to give you a meaningful response. But at some point you have to convert fiber to copper and/or copper to fiber. And for that conversion, quality matters. As does the PSU for the converter/switch. | |
| Frequency response while streaming stops at 15kHz- did I miss something in the fine print? @tonywinga I’m not sure what’s going on then. I pulled out a spectrometer app just for kicks and I get plenty of action even over 20kHz+ (at my listening position) with Roon+Tidal in my setup. All fiber LAN. Running a mini PC feeding a PS Audio DS... | |
| Pimping your router How about just pimping your LAN? Run fiber instead of copper. Once you go lite-brite, you'll never go nite-nite. | |
| Frequency response while streaming stops at 15kHz- did I miss something in the fine print? Which vinyl test record do you own that's flat out to 20kHz? I have yet to find one. I have three and all drop fairly sharply at around the 16-18kHz range.Also, I preferred the sound of Tidal when I compared it to Qobuz earlier this year. Tidal... | |
| Marantz AV7005 - Widow w/question I owned this processor as well.... For a loooong time. In fact, I gave it to my retired father when I bought a Krell processor 4-5 years ago. It is still going strong and I would almost guarantee you, if there really were 3 versions (which I se... | |
| Qobuz or Tidal? @arthur1260 you are either hearing things or something is not set up equally between the two streaming services. I speak from experience as I made the same mistake. I've since corrected my mistake (reset Roon completely) and started fresh and ma... | |
| CD v Streamed @antigrunge2 could be. Either way though, it is puzzling. | |
| CD v Streamed @antigrunge2 I tried everything with Qobuz. I run a full Sonore opticalRendu setup with upgraded Sonore LPSs (using Roon) to a PS Audio DS DAC and then out to my Ayre KX/VX-5 Twenty combo (to Focus SE speakers). I found almost everything on Qobuz ... | |
| CD v Streamed @georgehifi it's disappointing because the potential was there. Kind of like Sat Radio. Such a great concept but a complete failure in execution. I was all set to pay for a year of Qobuz after my 30 day trial but now I really need to weigh all opt... | |
| CD v Streamed I've only been streaming for a few weeks but noticed that Qobuz - hi-rez included, has fairly substantial compression applied. I witnessed this on pretty much everything I have listened to. It sounds fine at lower volume levels. But turn it up ... | |
| PS Audio Perfectwave vs Directstream DAC @audiodwebe I bought a PS Audio DS DAC last week and they are on close-out now. I would guess that the upgrade from the PW to DS is as well. I'd call them (they don't have plans to put the sale prices on the website... yet anyway) and see what t... |
