Testing Ethernet switch
I find it hilarious when people who have 0 knowledge about a topic attack people with knowledge. You can’t argue any thing about how it actually works, just what you “hear”.    but facts remain, about 50% of people who don’t know anything about E... 
The latest audiophile streamer craze
This thread is actually pretty funny. So many people in this thread who believe Ethernet is directional and other physically impossible things, but reflecting waves that you can do physically regardless of the wavelength is crazy.    Knowledge is... 
Anthem AVM-70 8K
I was weighing an anthem avm 70 too against Sony’s new 5000, and after trying both, surround and dialogue clarity was better with the Sony. Both were better than my previous Marantz. Yes, the Sony is a receiver, but I use it as a processor.   obv... 
I stream 24/7. Do you?
I used to have the radio on 24/7. As I grow older, I tend to have less and less on, even with having whole house audio, and focus on quality listening session, typically on the weekends, starting with a vinyl and moving to streaming after an album... 
I have perfected my network for the nth time
@nonoise i recalled you are not operating with a full deck of cards, so no point in discussing anything with you.   
I have perfected my network for the nth time
@singingg Ah, now I have cornered the "(*&%scientist%&*)" with the tin foil hat. I can’t imagine what a person must be like to be this arrogant. You can’t even see your reflection because your entire existence is covered in tin foil. ... 
I have perfected my network for the nth time
@toro3  Not specifically, I am referring to the arrogance of most people on this forum and other, as soon as they call themselves “audiophile”, their reality defies all known knowledge of the universe and they are way more knowledgable than peopl... 
Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops.
@audioman58 you have certainly wasted a lot of money on things that cannot have an impact, to OPs point.   
WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection
@goofyfoot  what makes a streamer a good streamer? For me it is following the specs of the services you intend to support, and the Bryson doesn’t. It has a smaller buffer than what Qobuz and Tidal mandates as one example that I am aware of, I am ... 
WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection
@thyname  Forget Cin Dyment for a moment….   And forget bandwidth for a moment as well…   And certainly disregard whatever Freddy says….   What is wi-fi? An “antenna “ so to speak, converting the internet signal for your streamer. Very... 
WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection
@x5owner1 here is a factual, and somewhat humorous real review of the Aqvox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMFQ3YvR3Eo  
WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection
@x5owner1 Hans is a crackpot who regurgitates stuff he read on the Internet as gospel without any comprehension, in this case the many times debunked “white paper” from John Swenson. a switch does not reclock anything. It is not what it does. And... 
WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection
@x5owner1  it’s more likely the poorly timed data coming out of the router. A switch will re-clock the data so the Bryston will have an easier time re-clocking it (again) before it sends it on to the internal DAC section. a switch will not and... 
I have perfected my network for the nth time
I also find it very interesting that people think they can control for things they have no understanding of, like bias control, one of the hardest things to control for and physiologists are involved in real trials to design the control protocol f... 
I have perfected my network for the nth time
@singingg  Ahh, I feel so much better now that I have made myself comfortable, a placebo here, a placebo there. Notice the One Trick Pony will not listen to some music of his choosing (30 seconds) walk across his room (1 second to stand up and ...
