| Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP? Issue is if one doesn't have optical input on streamer and optical ISP we're converting ethernet to optical back to ethernet. So consider optimized ethernet> optimized optical> optimized ethernet. This would be something like router or switc... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Hope we're back on track! @singingg Thanks for sharing. I seem to recall reading on some forums that various boutique LAN cables not running ground on both ends, why I mentioned in previous post Cat 7 not always grounded both ends. Even though... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Why I mentioned previously, no longer engage in cable arguments. Intention is at issue, simply presenting experiential evidence or having need for people to agree with you. One exposes psychological processes usurping free and open discussion.... | |
| Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP? Lots of trade offs both theoretically and in actual listening. I've compared optical and ethernet on both sides of two streamer setups, where first streamer used only as server, SOTM and OpticalRendu used as streamers. Also with only one streamer,... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers When threads become bogged down in arguments and are no longer productive they die, people quit following them. This is intentional act by the provocateur, have need to deny full and open discussion. People want to read threads that constantly... | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? @cleeds Very good info. Everything aligns with what I expected, with one major exception. Average cost of audio system at only $18K, wow, that's really surprising to me! Seems this is aspirational read for many, I assumed readers already there. Bu... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @thieliste Does sound change over time with these, in other words is burn in issue? How do all these compare to stock transciever in OM? Like to know what to expect and how sound quality may change over time. Just feel I'm in perfectly neutral po... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System One can get fine sound quality with top line streamers and dacs, this even with less than optimal networks. This based on latik and many other's experience, mine as well. We are talking marginal gains with most of these 'in the weeds' network opti... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers These audio divides will go on forever, we're not going to solve it here. As for those who may be interested in possible optical network optimization, here is some info on optical transceivers. https://www.adark.co/products/copy-of-afterdark-p... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @fredrik222 You've made your point, until you have new information we understand where you're coming from. Lets no get into repetition of same old, same old. Individuals are now well informed as to your opinions, up to those reading this thread t... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System @lalitk Perhaps I'm not finding exact product you're pointing to, but all I can find on Linkup is ethernet cables. They may call them LAN cables, LAN cables are in actual fact eithernet cables, theirs are shielded which is simply CAT 7 and CAT 8 e... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System @charles1dad Other than listening comparisons, which I've obviously done, here are the issues at hand. Coax has less signal loss over longer distances vs ethernet. Coax more resistant to emi/rfi intrusion. Plus you get advantage of using top f... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers In general terms I can only say all my consideration/obsessiveness in optimizing network, and previous same level of attention to shelving, footers, AC delivery, room, capacitors, resistors, voltage regulators, internal wiring, inductors, etc. wit... | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? Seems audience for the rags is not audiogon posters. I wonder what their circulation numbers are these days, how it compares to other times. As for their audience, I stereotype it as wealthy novices. I do like Herb, he gets into smaller manufactur... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @agisthos Yes, this is the common explanation by the knowledgeable, is logical explanation and also explains why many of these products provide benefit. And yes, noise and jitter can and is produced at each link along chain, certainly band aids af... |
