| The revolution has begun! @bigtwin Thanks for laughs. I needed this as we prepare for winter freeze down in South! | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @sns Well said! I will go one step further…without network optimization, you’re not hearing full potential of your streamer or server. It is so vital to clean up the Ethernet signal from your modem or router before it enters your streamer/server... | |
| Has anyone tried the new Synergistic Research UEF Performance Enhancer - Ethernet Filter? @rauliruegas I've not tried them in my system so I can't speak to their effectiveness. It appears UEF Performance Enhancer is a filter designed for your Ethernet chain that said to lower your system’s noise floor. Take that for what it's worth! | |
| Has anyone tried the new Synergistic Research UEF Performance Enhancer - Ethernet Filter? @rlawry They are on sale and comes with 30-days money back guarantee. I would encourage you to try them in your system as the impact of these type of tweaks greatly vary and system dependent. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? "I can only say the present sound quality I’m getting with Roon is absolute4ly revelatory" @sns I am sure it is revelatory with your custom build server. Please enjoy your journey and experimentation with the Stylus or HQPlayer players. I hope ... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? “Whether Roon is optimized for the wide variety of streamers its used on is the question.” @sns IME, Nope. Its sound quality is all over the place with different servers/renders. The whole concept of keeping render + core separate (chassis) is d... | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup @ketchup I would try the Oyaide Black Mambas on both components and access any improvements. If they Oyaide’s been dormant, allow break-in for atleast 24 hours. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? “I don’t believe Roon is inherently inferior music player. I doubt Taiko would be using Roon in their Extreme streamers if they thought it had some inherent sonic liabilities.” @sns I do not know the exact reason why Taiko didn’t offer XDMS fro... | |
| Streamer-DAC vs Seperates “I started this thread only because I am interested in the latest HiFi developments and the community’s perspectives and my digital chain is an area I simply wonder about because I never went through the excruciating process of careful component s... | |
| Streamer-DAC vs Seperates ‘“Trying is the only way to know.” +1, @audphile1 @nyev It appears you’re suffering from audiophilia nervosa…LOL! The irritating itch that keep surfacing every few days. Honestly, you got a darn good digital front end but instead of focusing o... | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup @ketchup In my experience, the degree of improvements one hear from these noise filtering devices are in direct correlation of your components downstream. Since you asked, I don’t think most Ethernet switches under $1K ‘designed’ for audio yield... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @bh123 I would keep the ‘No name’ 30FT CAT8 LAN cable from router as is and insert ENO filter ahead of N200. ENO comes with no questions asked 30days return policy. The other ways to improve N200 performance is by using a high quality OCC power... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @bikeboy52 Consider high quality OCC copper cables from Zavfino for your streamer and DAC. | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @bikeboy52 Thanks for outlining your Ethernet setup. I say, enjoy your time with N200 until you’re ready to ‘tinker’ with Ethernet. Don’t know how long is your Blue Jeans Cat 8 cable run is? If it’s a shorter run like under 2M, then I recommende... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @charles1dad It appears, 2023 is going to be much more merrier with revamped digital front end :-) Happy Holidays 🎄 |
