| Network optimization for serious streamers @yyzsantabarbara I've never used the Etherregen so have no opinion. I will soon be experimenting with Finisar FTLX1475D33BTL optical transceivers in OpticalModule and Optical Rendu. Again, measure lower in jitter vs garden variety transceivers. Th... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? In thinking this out more. If I had top flight usb rendering via Phoenix or others, nice usb on dac and looking at three streamers mentioned here I'd go with K50, which was my plan. With k50, assuming top flight usb in streamer/dac you have the de... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers For the naysayers. the whole point of this is the listening! Why I started post with serious streamers, if streaming only for convenience or background who cares. If, on the other hand you want streaming sound quality to be your one and only refer... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers In my case coax cable was already long enough to bring close to audio setup. Assume there would be some losses via coupler, enough to discern in regard to sound quality? | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? A lot of this is apples to oranges comparisons, best ports on streamers and dacs make direct comparisons impossible. One should purchase dac and streamer as a package, decide in advance which scheme they're going with, AES/EBU, USB or I2S, both d... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @arafiq Since I'm well acquainted with Netgear interface and already have 12V lps Netgear XR1000 was my choice. The second router feeding house wifi can be any old cheap thing, in my case already had Netgear RS7000 which serves the purpose. In... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers One thing I neglected to mention. Some claim telephony creates noise in modems, in other words phone service connected to modem results in diminished sound quality. I have phone plan with my Spectrum service, did not activate phone service in new ... | |
| 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 ... |
