| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Combo modem/router may or may not be best, who can say without direct comparison. I'd still advocate individuals at least try modem and router close to audio system, hard wired with quality ethernet cable. Compare the two and report. While I've n... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @jji666 I like the conversation. The only thing I'd add is many of us advocating simply experiential learning and/or enjoyment, not advocating for a certain product or scheme. The idea is simply try it, you may or may not like result, that's perfe... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Caught my miss. What I meant to say, long coax to modem, short ethernet to router, this versus long ethernet to router. Bottom line bring modem to router, even to point of having ISP coming into listening room, this is my setup. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Ed Meitner is principle at EMM Labs, one of the earliest investigators into jitter and it's affects on sound quality. You'll find his views on EMM Labs website, he also contributes to various forums at times, perhaps you could also communicate via... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System For everyone, getting rid of wifi, going to hard wired is great upgrade for many reasons given here and elsewhere. But instead of using long ethernet cable from modem, use long coax, coax much less susceptible to emi/rfi. The filters work in part ... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Well, we were going along fine until the usual suspects entered picture. @fredrik222 you continue to mention only John in your attacks, try out Ed Meitner for some elucidation on jitter and clocks. And so we have the usual, usual argument that... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers He likely brought it up since I mentioned John and some white paper a while back. He finds fault with this white paper, then infers John is not to be trusted as expert. I haven't mentioned a single Uptone product in this thread, so how he came int... | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? Also just occurred to me there was stronger yea or nay opinions, lots of context. Today's professional reviewers far more reticent, don't want to offend, still, with knowledge of reviewer reading between the lines is possible at times. | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper I'm same as spatialking. using stranded for internal can be issue with extremely small gauge wiring, frying individual strands when soldering. As for SQ, no overarching reason for one over the other IME. | |
| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k @ecpninja The Baetis line very interesting to me, they've gone in different direction using Windows platforms in their streamers. Can't get more versatile streamer than Windows platform, with JCAT, Pink Faun boards, one can optimize for ALL the p... | |
| Aurender vs CD Not surprised, streaming is far more complex than playing cd's, so many variables impact sound quality. | |
| New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running..... @avanti1960 Good to hear! You're inspiring me to get around to installing and listening to my XA and Thoress PS. | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? I recall devouring Stereophile back in day, small format digest sized with very little advertising, certainly much info in that what I believe was bi-monthly publication. But then I was beginner audiophile and no web, hungry to be educated. S... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers So, deniers and skeptics enter here, to be expected. I can only say,everyone needs to experience sound quality different network optimizations bring to the table. I'm no network expert, only collated knowledge and experience from other individu... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Great to see the variety of network schemes working well for people, keep them coming! Jitter induced by or passed through networks seems to be somewhat contentious issue, some claim ping time only consideration beyond what streamers, dacs ca... |
