| Fuzzy playback Yes, that is correct. Just like USB. Although packet errors from using a damaged or otherwise defective ethernet cable can cause dropouts. It will always try to retransmit, but failures (even in the field) are not uncommon. I use the 22 AWG versi... | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? What @kota1 said ✅️ | |
| Fuzzy playback If you want to test whether or not it's ethernet, buy a cheap CAT 8 cable. The specification is improved overall vs older CATs. And if it is ethernet, end-game ethernet cable: LINKUP - [GHMT & DSX8000 Certified] Cat8 Ethernet Patch Cable I ... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? @mceljo Well new tubes - different sound. Just like in a solid-state amplifier, the main filter capacitors, power transformer(s), and small changes the circuit design can vastly improve or detract from sound quality, or objectively accurate audi... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? @mceljo Thank you for the write-up. I have also experimented with power cords, interconnects etc. I have found that the shortest interconnects seem to provide a tiny amount of gain vs longer ones. Or rather, the long interconnects seem to be r... | |

| DVD player disc cleaner Allsop Eight Brush CD Laser Lens Cleaner it really works. Eject the disc after about a minute. | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? No cheap calls. I asked you first. | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? @thyname What does your audition process look like, step-by-step? | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? @thyname maybe ask an electrician what he thinks of that power cord... before willing to part with your money and maybe give it to a stranger on the internet. | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? @designtaylor When we want to understand cables, we measure them. The inductance, capacitance and resistance of a cable can define what it can do, vs what it can’t. Cables are just a bridge between 2 points...and low resistance is the most impor... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? @designtaylor I don’t use cables to fine-tune a system, but I will say that upgrading my DAC’s power cord to a monoprice hospital-grade cord ($11 on amazon) (up to 1625w, up to 105 degrees, and 13A with all required/over-the-top certifications i... | |
| Headphones Amp, Sound card, Bluetooth Dongle Questions I’m going to try and give you insight on these things. Before you go out and buy anything, are you listening to .mp3s , .wav files (CD quality) or .flac ? If you are listening to lossy music (rather than lossless) the entire premise of achieving ... | |
| mhdt Orchid - hum noise There are products you can buy which claim to eliminate ground loops; that cause hum to occur; such as the Ebtech Hum X. More likely than not, if this is sporadic or new behavior altogether from the Orchid DAC, it could mean a bad power transforme... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? I read some good things about the audioquest robin hood speaker cables. What do you think the system is missing in terms of sound quality? |
