| Fosi LC30 amp/speaker switcher experience? My concern would be with disconnecting and reconnecting speakers hot, when power amplifier is running, potentially with signal passing. | |
| Does anyone have a good or bad experience using a PC server rack for audio equipment? I think you can, if you wish, build an absorption platform and place it under the rack. Say, buy and cut plywood to size, cover with thick rubber (yoga mat or polymer garage flooring), another wood, different density rubber, another plywood sheet,... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @soix - details please. How does power cable or linear power supply affect running code in the CPU or a network card operation.. No, no one actually offer anything apart from "just listen". You can just rest your case now, you obviously don’t und... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @total111 - the question is indeed purely digital. It is about streamer as a computer. Streamer makes network requests to the cloud and routes packets over USB. Analog conversion is a different subject. There is no analog in the streamer. So the ... | |
| Denafrips -Bashing Denafrips New 12th anniversary models @rikkipuu Every company at some point moves on. Apple does not provide means to install iOS 17 on iPhone 5. So yes, at some point you can't upgrade software and have to buy a new unit. DDC and DAC are just fancy computers. | |

| Power Cables @zlone - Agreed about analog. "Experts" at company that sells you things? Mmmmm - no :-) Proper statement is here - and this is actually really good network switch etc. BUT as actual DAC engineer from Denafrips says - you don't need one. | |
| Power Cables @knownothing - correct. However, the topic is about purely digital system such as streamer without DAC, or a LAN cable “filtering” device. You have network cables running on top of your tube amp? Sure, shielding might help. Power cable for a netwo... | |
| Food: what does the typical audiophile eat? But did you connect your fridge directly to the AC outlet? Huge mistake. | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection Trivial experiment. Copy a music file to a cloud of your choice. Now copy it back 1000 times. Did any copy came back different? | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection @antigrunge2 so educate me. RF noise affects all types of data. If that is the case, transmission of plain test files would be affected. You do know that no stream is transmitted point to point or as a complete file. Everything on the net is slice... | |
| Power Cables @ghdprentice great, so what is your theory. Cables at data centers are pretty standard, as you know. So what 6ft of expensive cable would change in the rack operation. | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection @dean_palmer of course it does. This is why the network is designed with recovery. Surely, if you unable to own files from cloud or Netflix is broken, then yeah, time to check cabling and equipment. It is a pretty trivial test - like copy large fi... | |
| Digital vs Analog experiment @audioman58 - how does power cable improve operation of network stack in the router? What changes exactly? | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection @antigrunge2 I well understand now networks operate. I don’t need “opinions”. If there is benefit, it should be described properly, as in what exactly the device does and how does it benefit the unit hardware and software in terms of network opera... |
