| Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer @luvtubes69 I was describing my experience in my system and I thought that was implied. I used the stuff I bought from amazon https://a.co/d/5HkmxgC I set up my streaming with EERO mesh network. My Purist Audio Ethernet cable is 1m in length. ... | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 @navyachts The question I asked was pretty simple and common. You’re looking for improvements and I asked about the links that make the most difference. By the way I still use the purist Ethernet cable, N200 and Bricasti after comparing each of ... | |
| Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer I have tried: 1. Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System. Did it do something ? Yes! It smoothed out dynamics, tamed the highs and relaxed the mids. Soundstage collapsed. None of the effects were desirable and I sold it 2. Fiber optic conversion ... | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled Read good things about inakustic. | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled Thanks @sls883 @mclinnguy ! Yeah the prices are kind of ridiculous. The USB cable is very reasonably priced though. I’m thinking of giving the Ethernet cable a try next some time later this year. Steve from the cable company said it’s excelle... | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled My new Stealth USB arrived. Right out of the box gorgeous sound. I’m just enjoying the tunes. Breaking it in by running the streamer and DAC 24/7. I’m curious about other Stealth cables but exploring that space will have to wait. | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 @navyachts if the objective is to improve sound quality by tweaking something in the network chain have you considered upgrading your Ethernet cable? I really don’t think you’re going to get any sonic benefit from any of the filters, switches, etc... | |
| Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer My LAN is already smooth thanks! | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @luvtubes69 that little amp has plenty of juice. Drove my Wilson Sabrina no problems. Cool thing is when you go up the line the you don’t just get more power, design gets better The 760a is great…although I never heard it but can imagine the impr... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp I mean on, not standby | |
| Where to Place Network Switch @pgaulke60 the way I read it is do no harm was their goal. Hopefully they accomplished it. But once again if you think a switch will function as a filter and clean up your signal, it won’t. Cleanest way to implement the switch would be to have it ... | |
| Better DAC or better Streamer No matter what you upgrade, DAC or streamer, you will get an improvement in sound quality. However in your case @eddy1 you will have a bottleneck in your streamer and you will be upgrading it soon after. The SP2000 is similar to streaming with iPa... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @richardbrand I’m aware. But you’re not Johnny Walker. | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? Lagavulin 16…haven’t had that in a while. Love it. Great in cold weather paired with a nice cigar. P.S. I don’t want to even read about blending single malts…I skipped that part of the thread…that’s just criminal… | |
| Neutral preamplifier recommendation $1K new Yes. $1000 used Rogue RP1 actually insanely good preamp. Quiet, transparent and you can tailor the sound by trying different tubes. Has great phono stage built in. |
