| 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... | |
| 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... |
