| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @verdantaudio, Great thread and glad you started it. I saw on another post you have had experience with PSA DSD. I have a DSD Jr. and am at a crossroads between upgrading to a network DAC or buying a dedicated streamer with a DAC to follow in the... | |
| Network Switches I'll probably go with Google. $150 for three at the moment. I've seen worse. | |
| Network Switches @david_ten Thanks, this is great info. I never considered wifi because the DS Jr only accepts a hard wire connection but I'm sure the satellites have an ethernet jack. I actually researched mesh wifi a couple months ago to get better reception t... | |
| Network Switches @lalitk I was planning on testing that one out as well. For the price I’d be crazy not to. | |
| Network Switches @thyname@david_ten is correct. I wasn’t clear but I am talking about the modem and router.Here’s the chain:Brick Wall power conditioner > iFi 12v power supply (2) > modem and router > 50 ft. Ethernet cable (generic) > EtherREGEN with L... | |
| Network Switches Hello everyone. My Uptone EtherREGEN arrived last week and I must say it has made a very good impression on me. It's still breaking in but I'm already considering my next move to clean up the digital stream.I am curious how many are using an LPS... | |

However, many DACs ... | |
| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? @jayrossi13 I don't know all the techno babble but I have a DSDjr and use the Bubble UPnP app. That's all I need. | |
| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? @jayrossi13 The DSDjr is a Roon endpoint and a UPnP Server. I use Bubble UPnP. But your right, no storage. I think the only way to really know is to buy some streamers, connect to the DSDjr and compare to the Bridge II. Unfortunately it sounds exp... | |
| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? PS Audio has done this for a while. That's one thing that attracted me to the DSDjr. I am now curious how something like an Innuos Zenith would sound compared to the PS Audio Bridge II. Extra digital cable, extra power cord, extra rack space - ... | |

| John Prine, singer, songwriter, legend - Dead at 73 from COVID-19 An enormous loss indeed. Deep down I felt this coming but was apparently not prepared. John Prine has affected me more than any other artist.I was fortunate enough to see him five times, the last being October 2019. The last song off his last a... |
