| Network optimization for serious streamers @j_andrews You need to connect router to modem, routers supply needed IP addresses for network components, switches don't supply IP addresses. What many do is have switch connected to router, switch connects to the audio streaming components. Most... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers If jitter didn't exist on networks,it wouldn't be detectable by measuring devices. The question is at what level is jitter heard, some may theorize there is a certain level. Jitter is extremely important for precision manufacturing with comput... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... So, instead of measuring worth of speaker, we're measuring worth of experience. In that case, each individual evaluates worth of their equipment in relation to their experience of it. What do I know about that! | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Since my final decision for a plug n play streamer was going to be the K50, obviously that would be my choice. I decided on K50 based on several factors. While I don't find the k50 usb rendering to be among the best, neither is any Auren... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... I go along with the expectation bias theory for now. Longer term listening and switching back and forth will tell if Fluonce competes, beats or loses to KEF. I'm always mindful of expectation bias, long term listening and removing new variable by... | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare What if the technician can't figure what you have going on! Having complex vinyl and streaming setup not sure they could figure out what I have going on, probably think I'm nuts. Easy access to rear of equipment critical, my setup spread far and w... | |
| Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways FL is only mode for main system. Don't really listen much to music with other systems available to me, therefore, work system, home theater and car. I'm far too easily distracted by music so work is out, home theater is for video and car I'm usual... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? No doubt dac is critical to the entire equation. Don't know what port on Gryphon is best, but whatever dac one utilizes has great import as to streamer chosen. Optimized usb on dac is generally going to be XMOS or Amanero supplied usb board, some ... | |
| the question of changing ethernet cables @finnlove Believe you're speaking of Small Green Computer, specialize in optical steaming. I do use Sonore OpticalModule and OpticalRendu, many experiments with optical in past and continuing into future, some in next few weeks. With optical you c... | |
| the question of changing ethernet cables @finnlove Any dimmers/reostats anywhere in house can cause these sorts of hissing/fuzzy sounds. Even with dedicated circuits on audio these can infect, transformers with LED lights can also infect, I know both from personal experience. Otherwi... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @vgmbpty brings up one box vs multi box solution, whole other can of worms. This is where the rendering capability of streamers really comes into play , and I'd agree the one box solution becomes the more expensive proposition, especially if usb ... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Of the big four mentioned above, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen and Dylan and Jerry, Neil and Jerry are the ones I can listen to throughout entire career. When Cohen and Dylan began to sound more like croaking frogs than human is day I couldn't take it... | |
| the question of changing ethernet cables You are correct on noise coming into house, however self generated noise and jitter from modem on still exist in all streaming setups. Whether you need a filter or not is for you to discover via experimentation. I've done much experimentation with... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core @fastfreight Won't get optimized usb out of Nucleus servers, usb directly off motherboards with these. Getting optimized usb on dedicated usb board will only come with much more costly streamers. To get superior usb out of Nucleus involves adding ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Direct fair comparisons of streamers is extremely difficult to undertake. What dac streamer is partnered with extremely critical as best port for rendering is unique to each streamer, same goes for dac. Optimal matching means best port on streamer... |
