Ethernet Switch- what's the point?
@fredrik222 Question is very simple. If you are using a very unefficient protocol like https, which relies on heavy buffering, all is reduced to the quality of client (the webplayer most likely). So, which switch/router/cable to use is no sense q... 
Ethernet Switch- what's the point?
#fredrik222 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media https is TCP/IP, very large buffering, nothing compareable to real-time o live streaming. Probably in your life you never made a video conference using TCP/IP, otherwise you'd know the eff... 
Ethernet Switch- what's the point?
@carlsbad2 Exactly. Most audio/video protocols are based on UDP. More they are real-time, more they use fast protocols which cannot permit to make any check. TCP/IP controls correctness of every packet and the order in which packets are received... 
AES/EBU cable shootout
@rudyb Data communication is generally made with two base protocols: TCP/IP which manages: flow, CRC, data loss, retransmission UDP which does NOT manage: flow, CRC, data loss, retransmission The most of data exchange procedures (like sendi...

Where should these fuses and all other special fuses be used? Only in amplifiers on in any audio equipment?

Thinking about getting a R2R DAC
Post like this put me into confusion, because it looks like my idea that older DACs work better is not that bad.It's a lot of years that people says that my system sounds very natural, not like others, and I'm completely satisfied with how it soun... 
Threshold Fet Ten/HL compared to Fet Ten/e or more recents Pass Labs preamps
Thanks Teajay, I've written you an email. 
Threshold Fet Ten/HL compared to Fet Ten/e or more recents Pass Labs preamps
So, none moved from a Fet ten/hl to a Fet ten/e, or, more generally, from a Fet Ten to a Pass Labs preamplifier?
