| ISO-PLUS Ethernet RF Filters vs Fiber Optic Cable I'd also add, one should read John Swenson's papers on network optimization, John is perhaps preeminent audio network engineer. | |
| ISO-PLUS Ethernet RF Filters vs Fiber Optic Cable Optical is the only hundred percent isolation solution. Now its been reported on another thread Innuos claims optical conversion generates noise that makes it inferior to ethernet. I find that highly doubtful, based on both my experience and many ... | |
| AKM makes the best DACs @milpai You have made some unwarranted comments in regard to myself. I in fact stated in that thread a desire for more comparative reviews of 005 dac. I also stated I was seeking less favorable perspectives on particular aspects of said dac perfo... | |
| The worst sentence in audio writing If its true one must be giving up something for gains in resolution I don't understand the entire pursuit of higher sound reproduction. I've not heard what I'm giving up! | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? Well, lets go in to the nitty gritty.https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/62477-john-swenson-tutoring-paper-considerations-regarding-usage-of-external-reference-clocks-etherregen-and-other-sine-vs-square-impedance-cables%E2%80%94and-a-money-sa... | |
| Digital Upgrade Recommendations Going optical post server is optimum way to go. Read John Swenson's papers, thoughts on streaming in general. @yyzsantabarbara pointed to one thread. Here's another about everything under the sun.https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/62477-joh... | |
| A better way to stream @fuzztone Neglected to mention Small Green Computer Sonictransporter I9. Checks nearly all the boxes, Sonore Opticalmodule optical out, fast Intel I9 processor, should be able to run high level HQPlayer dsp if desired. Also has on board storage in... | |
| A better way to stream @fuzztone Playing a hard drive on network, NAS. If hard drive in server you have to go through network switch. If not using fiber out from server, things get more complex because the conversion required. However, the ultimate optical setup can... | |
| A better way to stream If Node you're all in one unit, not much to do, you can even use wifi. Something like NUC's with separate dac are next step up from Bluesound. At this point network optimizing can pay off. Basic setup will usually be server/streamer all in one... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” My point was how much one has to work to suspend disbelief, its a matter of degree. Suspension of disbelief intuits some level of mental effort, belief requires no effort. As my system has improved over the years, I find increasingly less mental s... | |
| Run Roon in an iMac or dedicated Mini Upper tier mac minis will easily run all Roon dsp, depending on processor, it may even run most if not all HQPlayer dsp. Your mini could be upgraded into dedicated server at a price and having to diy. If your going to heavy processing, Nucleus... | |
| A better way to stream A streamer as endpoint would be applicable in case of Roon. Other software like Euphony Stylus can also benefit as well. Depending on streamer, many other functions may be available which also may be beneficial. The other advantage as I stated... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” Suspension of belief, how bout truly believing literal presence in room with you. Being fooled into actual belief means one is working less hard at suspending belief. Having live performers in room has always been my goal. The more one's syste... | |
| China built tube amps Yes, US people made their CHOICES long time ago, reason I cannot understand all the anti Chinese sentiment. We voted in our gvt. representatives and with our pocketbooks for the present situation, we should only blame ourselves. @dkzzzz While ... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming Finally had chance for first listen with opticalrendu running off Uptone JS2 LPS. Don't like hyperbole, but this is major upgrade over two TPLInk MC220 with Sotm SMS200 neo (all with LPS). Certainly one of best digital upgrades I've experienced, a... |
