| Wireless to Ethernet Adapter for DAC Here’s a cheap solution, and you’ll learn something building it:https://www.instructables.com/id/Share-WiFi-With-Ethernet-Port-on-a-Raspberry-Pi/The nice thing about the Pi is that it's dual band WiFi compatible. | |
| Are ferrites effective for cabling? Best place I think is in power cables. Worth trying on the amp side of a speaker cable, especially with amps that use feedback. | |
| Using optical filter for ethernet Ethernet transmitters and receivers are balanced,and galvanically isolated. It's also very high speed, compared to streaming needs. It would certainly be interesting if something like this makes a difference. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification “One of the difficulties implementing the ICE module is its hungry demands for a powerful input signal. The 700 watt ICE module has low impedance (around 8KΩ) which, if not properly buffered,Little bit of obfuscation. A lot of Class D OEM module... | |
| Down to 2 preamps The AVM has a mix of balanced and rca outs. I think it also has a pair of balanced inputs. I was a little wrong. Only the D2 has balanced inputs. The AVM also has a dedicated headphone output stage. | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. Onkyo and Emotiva processors suck in exactly the same way. Clinical, slightly hard, and completely thin. | |
| Power conditioner -- when to replace? The parts don't age, so much as surges age them, but this aging applies only to disposable units, which incorporate shunt devices like MOV's to short lightning strikes to ground, or neutral. Furman conditioners which incorporate SMP can last decad... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Maybe it’s time for a group hug with Eric?Too busy listening to my marvelous Class D amps to bother with other humans. | |

| Voltmeter readings and settings when building RCA Interconnect But yes, generally, continuity testing should beep end to end, but not between conductors. | |
| Voltmeter readings and settings when building RCA Interconnect Well, yes, but ideally < 0.5 Ohms (this is hard to do because leads are often hard to hold. | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Interesting take by Linn on DSP. These are fighting words against the approach taken my Lyngdorf and Antherm. It is interesting, but it is of course a biased point of view to sell a particular solution.The best answer is still to treat the room a... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? From what I have heard, skip the ICE Module amps.... They are the harsh ones on the upper frequencies. I am using ICE 250 ASP with speakers using AMT drivers that are measurably flat past 20kHz. Not a bit of harshness in them. They sound just like... | |
| Voltmeter readings and settings when building RCA Interconnect Infinite resistance between shield and hot.Zero between each end. | |
| The Border Patrol DAC - Maybe linearity in a DAC is bad ... Spitballing @kalali Don't you think these effects could be explained by compression? Best,E |
