| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @cleeds ha? Dropped bits? Man who’s saying anything about dropped bits? I’m talking about difference in sound quality that’s influenced more by a component design and implementation as well as parts quality that impact the sonics more than the n... | |
| *DAC Ah…just went back to your system page and saw this Stock power cables, Blue Jean speaker cables (12 awg - 6ft long) Blue Jean interconnects is that still accurate? | |
| *DAC @navyachts the suggestion by @ghdprentice to try a Chord DAC is right on target I think. Chord has a great tone, good dynamics and offers few filter options to fine tune the sound. I was running a Chord Qutest when I had the Martin Logan Montis wi... | |
| Using Optical Network Port on a Lumin U2 I take it any fiber optic cable will do. It’s not susceptible to emi and rfi. I wouldn’t go crazy there. It’s a great option to have in a streamer. | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @lalitk agreed. All you will get is clutter. Add linear power supplies to those fiber optic converters and get even more clutter. I have tried that fiber optic setup with several streamers that accept only copper network cables and actually don’t ... | |
| Using Optical Network Port on a Lumin U2 Honestly I haven’t experimented much outside of fiber optic converters. I got the LinkUp Ethernet and whatever the generic fiber I found….my order… https://a.co/d/doIvRLK https://a.co/d/eS0SW4O https://a.co/d/5XfhlSj Can’t tell you anything ab... | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator Cool. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts. | |
| Using Optical Network Port on a Lumin U2 @efoo option 1 is an easiest to test - get the converters on Amazon. If you don’t like the results, return them. Your option 2 is similar to what @ozzy uses with his Lumin and we just chatted about it here - he uses EtherREGEN to output fiber opti... | |
| Do dormant cables need "RE" Broken In? If so how long can they sit dormant? I let my system warm up for a few hours every time with something playing at a very low volume before listening. For the cables that haven’t been used for a few months, I would allow 24-48hrs of play time. Go by what your ears tell you. | |
| Lifting the Christmas veil Cool wife, awesome present! Enjoy!!! | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ Yes the Eno is gone. I actually had it for a while and concluded I didn’t need it. With it in my system the sound became a bit too mellow. I heard that their Muon is more dynamic and more resolving but I’m not planning to spend $2200 on the netwo... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @efoo it’s fun to play with to hear what it does. Takes a few days to get a hang of it. Same with Roon DSP sample rate conversion. Sounds good for few hours then I switch back. The Auralic Aries G1 that I owned also had upconversion and once agai... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @cleeds I have owned Auralic Aries G1 and Lumin U1 Mini. Currently I am using a network renderer in my DAC (Bricasti M3) as a Roon endpoint (Roon core duties are handled by Mac Mini) without an outboard dedicated streamer. I also occasionally use ... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ That sounds like a good setup! Enjoy! | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @mathiasmingus congrats on the purchase! The BDP3 if my memory serves is Roon ready. I’d give that a shot for the free trial period and compare the sound quality of Manic Moose vs. Roon. I’ve seen the Bryston software and I am pretty sure Roon is ... |
