| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @theaudiomaniac you are saying you don’t have any more knowledge on the topic and therefore no one else does either. Good argument. like I have stated before, I know more about the topic that anyone on this forum, including yourself, until prove... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @theaudiomaniac you specially called me out. My posts are accurate, networking is as close to absolutes as you can come. Your comment is more or less exactly what I said… As for wrappers around UDP, most applications do build some sort of reliab... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @theaudiomaniac so, you called me out. What is wrong in any of my posts? to your posts, I would add while UDP does not provide reliability at the transport layer, it leaves that to the higher level protocols. Which is huge headache, and probab... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @ghasley there you are wrong. Optimal audio quality over a IP network is fully understood by people like me. Do you again believe the banking is comprised daily? Or do you think super hi res simulcast concerts don’t know what they are doing? Look ... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @ddafoe i did. Show me another person here that knows more and I will readily admit so, however, out of the thousands of posts on this topic, my conclusion is firm. | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @ghasley it is very possible for noise interfere with Ethernet, for sure. The point is, Ethernet is built to withstand it, and that’s why I said a safe bet for a Ethernet run without special conduits, etc. is 100 ft for residential applications. S... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @yyzsantabarbara here you go again… you just don’t know what you are talking about. Broadcast is not at a higher level than TCP or UDP (L4), broadcasts happen at L3, a lower level, and is used among other things for ARP. and for sure TCP can and... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @jumia so, I would skip the “audiophile” switches, and go with a enterprise switch. You can find cheap Cisco, Juniper, or other enterprise grade switches on eBay. “Audiophile” switches that I have seen actually have no real networking specs,... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @sns here is the thing, I am guaranteed the foremost expert on networking on this site. I don’t know a lot about everything, but networking is the one thing I do know, love and have made my life and career off. Therefore, like I said, confirma... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @jumia No clocking benefits, if noise is entering your streamer/DAC through Ethernet, you have some serious other issues. so the take away is that you should not waste your money. Like I have pointed out and proven, the likes @sns and @yy... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @yyzsantabarbara oh wow. You are special! Can’t even admit you have no idea what your are talking about after your vendor of choice throws it in your face. UDP is not broadcast. It is a stateless L3 protocol. And no, it is not just Roon. You s... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @yyzsantabarbara man up now. You don’t know what you are talking about, it is as simple as that. But don’t take my word for it, ROON says so. At least admit it. | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @yyzsantabarbara lol, you miss again. You really compared gaming and voice chat to Hires streaming? And you “program this stuff”. where is your explanation on broadcast streaming? since you use Roon, let me educate you : RAAT overview htt... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @sns absolutely. What it would take to actually make a difference is that you modify the payload. I put every thing you said against the trillion of bank transactions every minute happening globally. Because if FMC actually had a impact and could... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @jumia the summary of this thread is, either you believe the impossible, or you teach yourself about the realities of streaming and networking, and spend your money elsewhere. |
