| Router for Audio Streaming Personally, I'd take a pass on the X60 if you're getting good coverage with your existing router. We've got a mesh system in our house (ASUS XT8). The WAN port is in the basement and now that my wife works from home, she needs to have a better... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @yoramguy1 The good news: Contrary to the Netgear horror stories I was able to hard-reset and update my current router and all is well. Good stuff! From your netstat output, it looks like your network is performing normally. | |
| Better music player alternative to Mac Air / laptop So, are you saying that switching to streamer as the player won’t render better SQ based on your experience? Correct. I’ve used a variety of PCs, Macs, Raspberry Pi’s over the years to play back audio and I’ve never noticed a difference. I’v... | |
| Better music player alternative to Mac Air / laptop Before proceeding with streaming route, I would like to explore the use of the streamer / file server for playing music out of the HDD / SSD. You don’t need to spend anything to try out streaming. You can install the free Kodi app on your Ma... | |
| Better music player alternative to Mac Air / laptop If you're using an external DAC with the Macbook then there's no reason to switch to something else. If you're using the onboard audio and are considering a Mac mini, you might want to get a late 2014 model. The latest M1 based model doesn't s... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @yoramguy1 All zeroes is because you're not executing the command as root. You need to log in as an Administrator first. Then at the terminal execute 'sudo su' and type in the password. Finally execute netstat. That should get you the actual sta... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @yoramguy1 It appears those are network stats for UDP (user datagram protocol). It's another protocol that's used in conjunction with IP, usually for applications that don't require reliable data transmission. The TCP section should be the first... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming Also wanted to add that high levels of jitter (or low clock accuracy) in the network router / switch will manifest as bit errors, so looking at receive errors / bad segments should cover that aspect as well. | |
| Router for Audio Streaming There are several methods to monitor the performance of your network interfaces for bit errors. On Windows, you can use the built-in Performance Monitor tool and add a counter for receive errors related to your network interface. Make sure to ... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming Rationally speaking, routers and switches have no effect on sound quality; they just help move bits from point A to B. Think about it - Qobuz, Tidal and other streaming services aren't using special 'audiophile' routers / switches to deliver audio... | |
| Help finding a subwoofer I use two SVS SB-1000 Pro's in my system. The app is really convenient. They have speaker level inputs. | |
| Severe short term audio distortion when watching Netflix Glad to read you found the source of your problems. Hopefully you can return the add-in card and get your money back. | |
| Looking for Recommendations: Best Wireless, Hi-Res, Closed Back, Over-the-ear Headphone By using the bluetooth connection you are not able to get the full high res experience. Not quite true. When using Sony's LDAC codec over Bluetooth, you will get hi-res lossless PCM up to 96 kHz / 24 bit. Your hardware needs to support it, tho... | |
| Looking for Recommendations: Best Wireless, Hi-Res, Closed Back, Over-the-ear Headphone I suggest also considering the Mark Levinson 5909. Wireless, also has active noise cancelling. Note that most Bluetooth connections actually use lossy compression (i.e. AAC) to deliver audio. See this link - What are Bluetooth Codecs? Sony... | |
| High resolution audio on a PC questions If you’re using a current gen Mac mini (i.e. M1 chip) then I think your sampling rate is locked to 48 kHz. No matter what file you play, it will always resample to that rate if you’re using the analog out. This would be the main reason to get an e... |
