Arafiq, you are right.  I know I shouldn’t but I do it in jest- except for my tirade about my work days it’s fun banter but I guess I need to stop.

You know, I was an Engineering Manager for many years. The four letters that caused me the most headaches were HR and IT. HR, well I won’t go there but IT had two favorite phrases: "We can’t" and "You can’t". They have developed a culture of oppre...

Oh, another sun starved worker from the IT Crowd here to mock us.   Do you guys ever do work or just entertain yourselves with these forums all day? I recall an IT worker around 1990 at work who liked to play DOOM.  With a keystroke his screen w...

No one said unshielded.   I think dalek is mocking us audio hobbyists.  I'm not sure.  Still looking in the galactic registry for a planet called Audio Malarkey.

You are missing the point that DACs and music streamers are affected by electrical noise carried in on the network wiring.  It is not just about the 1’s and 0’s.  There is an analog component to the ethernet.

I have to wonder why these “IT Professionals” who obviously are not into audio peruse and troll these pages. I doubt any of them have actually designed and spec’d networking components. More likely they sit in windowless rooms building PCs for emp...

The most robust and best sounding setup will be hard wire ethernet cable from router to music streamer.  A wireless link is a compromise.  However, when I did some experimenting streaming television programming, I had the wireless mesh router near...

Here’s the thing. Generalizations do not work. I do agree that while on some stereo systems a quality network switch makes no difference in the sound but on other systems the quality network switch makes a very apparent difference. To make a blank...

Hey Fred, why don’t you post your stereo system.  Let’s see whatcha got.

Well Fred, the facts are you have not heard or experienced true hifi.  You lack an open mind to the possibility that digital is more than 1’s and 0’s and packets of data.  And apparently, you find history irrelevant which is sure to lead to repeat...
