| Experience buying from Europe? I buy from England, Scotland and the Netherlands often. Have also bought from Poland, Norway, Ukraine, Romania with no problems. | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup My modem is 15m from my system. I found a network switch made a difference. Bought a Cisco 8 ports unmanaged switch and had Fidelity Audio (UK) install one of their clocks. Put my modem and switch on a linear power supply. And bought reasonable... | |
| Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist I have Mad Scientist power cables. 2 x Nitro, 2 x Nitro Nano, as well as a First+ and a Basic. 2 more Nitro Nanos to be bought next year. Also have his Black Magic Ultra USB cable. All recommended. | |
| Ethernet cable recommendations Ended up buying two Lan isolators. Acoustic Revive LAN RLI-1GB-TRIPLE-C and Pink Faun. | |
| Ethernet cable recommendations I ended up buying Triode Wire Labs Freedom ethernet cables. From wall to switch, and then another from switch to streamer. | |
| Ethernet cable recommendations @acdvd Did you ever make a decision on ethernet cables? | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? Yes, certainly cheaper. But in my experience, the network switch I have was markedly better than without. | |
| What can I do between the wall and my streamer/DAC? Another option is putting a network switch after the 45' run of ethernet cable, run by a linear power supply. Some form of LAN Isolator to the Lumin with a good ethernet cable from the switch. An Eno would suit, or the likes of a Pink Faun. | |
| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection I've chosen AES/EBU to go from DDC to Dac, as a preference over I2S. Have ordered an Audience AU24Sx cable. | |
| What is Your End Game System? @macdude The same for the Cisco SG110D, with Fidelity Audio clock. Small footprint, and run by a 12v lps. And has certainly improved the sound of my streaming. | |
| Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade? I haven't got the TWL RCAs, but really like his Freedom ethernet cables. The RCAs being copper, and said to have a 'natural' sound is promising for you. | |
| Cables @baylinor +219 (= the total inane comments of his so far this month) | |
| Where to put your best power cable? I use my best power cable on my amp, plugged into the wall. | |
| Where to place your best switch? Option #2 is what I'm going to try. The lesser of my two audio switches at the end modem/router. Run by a cheapish Aliexpress linear power supply. 15m run of Cat 5 cable to my system. Then Triode Wire Labs Freedom ethernet cable to Acoustic Re... | |
| Qobuz or Tidal? Was using Tidal for a couple of years. Have since switched to Qobuz. It's noticeably better. Not a great fan of MQA. Like the increasing Hi Res titles as well. |
