Network optimization for serious streamers
Thank you for coming here to set us ignorant Aphiles straight.  Thank you!   
Network optimization for serious streamers
@xaxxon perhaps you would benefit from more open minded experiences with gear and tweaks. Audio is a great big world of potential, learning and possibilities.  
Network optimization for serious streamers
I have done quite a bit to optimize my network, but I have to share one tweak that really raised the sonic performance of my streaming and system.   Some have done this and it deserves more attention.  I upgraded the fuses in my Innuos Zenith 3 an... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Understand @lordmelton. I suppose we each have differing sensitivities and I get it. By the way, I checked out your system and you have some great gear! I owned several of Steve’s pieces, Empirical Audio, over the years. Also, the VRE-1 preamp is ...

@sns  I appreciate your posts and know this subject is important if one wants the best sound quality possible from streaming.

USB cable length posts are interesting. I designed and built many USB cables  over the years. I made lengths from 13 inches to 2 meters. I listen extensively to all my cable builds and frankly heard no issues, no sonic differences, with USB cables...

Great post! My score is also excellent.  I will check my modem for the aspects you listed as important in the design.  Thank you!   
Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review
Fun times for you @hchilcoat ! You will love the Hijiri speaker cables. I would use your Sistrum platforms under the Sons if they fit. I think raising them off the floor a bit is a plus for stage height. Those are very good platforms. I also use... 
Devore 0/96 and Room Size
@paullb    Please let us know if you end up buying the 96s and your impressions.  I am confident your room will work nicely.   
Devore 0/96 and Room Size
Taking the ceiling issue out for a moment, placing the 96s on the 15 foot wall would allow you to have 3-4 feet from the speakers to the side wall and 7-8 feet between the inside of each speaker. You could place them 5-6 feet (from the speaker bac...

I see. Thanks @lalitk ! The new Pro version is not yet on the Network Acoustics site. I did watch the review by Hans.   
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@ghasley   So no real need for the switch or Muon boxes? Just go from modem/router right into the Grimm and dispense with Muon and Aphile switch? Just a decent ethernet cable. You suggest these additional attempts to reduce noise and reclock ar... 
Devore 0/96 and Room Size
I see. The room is plenty big for sure. Placing the speakers on the shorter 15 foot wall would be best, but it seems the ceiling slope direction is the real issue.  
Devore 0/96 and Room Size
I am building a new home and did call John regarding the 96s in a room 14 wide x 16 feet long with 10 foot ceilings. He said the 96s would be wonderful in this room. My room is very close to yours it seems    I love my current Fyne F704 speakers,...

@ghasley  I still listen to Roon on my Innuos Zenith to compare with Sense.  Roon still sounds much less enjoyable.  Really not even close. I compared the most recent versions of Sense and Roon and simply find Roon is still far behind sonically. ...
