| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? @jumia Yes, the ether regen works very well. The question is, do you have the kinds of problems that the ether regen addresses? So many of us look to certain products with the expectation that it will "make things better". What if you have a ver... | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac One of things we have all learned over time is that cables, dongles, filters, switches, linear power supplies, switch mode power supplies, power conditioners, power cable, dedicated lines, etc etc etc...they ALL do something. Device A with cable B... | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? @jumia Retired this thing after about a year and quite frankly I have a very revealing system and I don't notice any difference whatsoever. Please share | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac @bigwave1 all you need to connect to the ma3 is an ethernet cable. You dont need the usb cable. It access file on your local network over ethernet. | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac The MA3 to my ears sounds better through its internal streamer/renderer than it does being streamed/rendered TO via usb from a good streamer/renderer. Same ethernet chain. | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? @jumia The EtherRegen runs hot. The designer said it would and it does. The designer also said it would improve the ethernet feed and it does. I've had mine several years, works flawlessly. You are certainly justified to not get one if you be... | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac @bigwave1 @sns With all respect and due deference to @sns and his demonstrated expertise with optimizing the Mac Mini, the Mac Mini is far from an optimal solution as either a server or a streamer today. It was a wonderful solution 10 years... | |
| Good Ethernet switch Can rfi/emi/electrical noise affect an analog signal transmitted over a cable? | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality @lalitk No worries, I didn’t take it that way. I’m actually thinking more long term. I would prefer to purify at the earliest possible point. @grannyring I concur on the Ether Regen. Its a great device and is really quite an achievment. Fo... | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality @pokey77 Are you using an LPS with the Rubicon or the supplied wall wart? If LPS, are you using an upgraded power cord too? The Rubicon actually ships from Network Acoustics with the well regarded iFi iPower Elite. As for power cables, I trie... | |

| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality I received my Network Acoustics Rubicon switch, Muon ethernet cable and Muon filter. I don’t want to venture into shilling but if your budget allows and your system is up to it, I am unaware of a better solution. Gobsmacked! Thanks @grannyring... | |
| DAC comparison @soix I've been test driving cars. The Audi S5 and S6 are illustrative / representative of the same. Uber competent. Yet missing more than something [for me]. : ) Indeed. Audi makes a fine car (my wife drives Audi Allroads after years in BMW... | |
| DAC comparison @ghdprentice You have an amazing dac in the refcd9se. The Dac8 is nowhere close. In fact, if you heard them both in your system you might wonder what was going on at ARC at the time. It was a reasonable dac if fed a low jitter signal through ... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? @rrm Gordon Lightfoot: Me and Bobby McGee. So much better than Janis Joplin Actually the song, written by Kris Kristophersen, was first recorded by Roger “King of the Road” Miller. Then by Kenny Rogers and THEN by Gordon Lightfoot…Joplin reco... |
