Qobuz Special Offer
@big_greg Thanks for the post. When I did a search for THE BEATLES or THE WHITE ALBUM I only got results for the non-super deluxe version. I also had a ripped CD version in my library.After I searched for ESHER DEMOS I found some tracks and then a... 
Mogami 2534 "Upgrade"
Nice post. I was just searching for Mogami XLR’s going back some years on  A’gon. Do you use any other cables from Take 5? https://www.takefiveaudio.com/categories/c202-tfa-custom-audio-cables  
Qobuz Special Offer
Signed up for Qobuz now and already have Tidal. My Roon went into a little shock at first but seems to have settled down and cached or indexed the Qobuz data. I was looking for the remaster of the Beatles White Album but not to be seen in either s... 
Qobuz Special Offer
Any reason to have both Tidal and Qobuz? I have Tidal and do not want to mess up anything to switch to Qobuz. Having both is do able at $12.49 monthly but is there a good reason to do that. 
Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170?
I will add some info here that I think people will find useful.I am back to comparing DSP because a too big for my room speaker is available for me to buy. For some unexplained reason I want to put this unsuitable speaker into my room instead of s...

@thyname Ok, USB to the endpoint makes it super clear. I got confused thinking RJ45 to the endpoint was the goal.I understand there are some clocking things (beyond my pay scale of understanding) that the EtherREGEN does but I wonder how it compar...

@thyname When I originally read about the EtherREGEN it was 3AM. Now that I had my 2 hours of sleep I looked at this again with full mental agility. :)It seems the question I need answering is what goes into the streaming endpoint in the EtherREGE...

I can help you understand, although it’s self explanatory.ultraRendu has optical input. So you need a fiber cable to feed it. So you ‘turn around” the EtherRegen. I am not the sharpest tool in the toolbox so I still do not get it. I think you m... 
Network Switches
For the few people who have an endpoint with optical input (the excellent Sonore opticalRendu comes to mind), one can “turn around” the EtherREGEN and feed that DAC-connected endpoint from the optical cage, while connecting the lone ‘B’-side por...

This EtherRegen device seems like it would be better than 2 Sonore opticalModules to go from Ethernet RJ45 -> OM -> Fiber Optical Ethernet -> OM -> Ethernet RJ45. Simpler seems better to me but I have not heard either. The Sonore modul... 
Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok
One has a Fiber Optic input.

@grannyring  Are you stating that you have already tried the fiber optical connection to your audio system?@uberwaltz Awesome.

@thyname Given your history with the Sonore products what is your opinion on the Sonore products and their place in this thread's discussion about Network Switches. My experience will have me continue to stay with the Rendu. 
Network Switches
I have been using Sonare products since the first day the microRendu became available. After I used the Rendus' I became confident that, FOR ME, the Rendu isolated the computer processing from the audio signal. What I mean is that a busy CPU did... 
Network Switches
I am back to this discussion and will tout the Sonare product again. See the post below about eliminating the noise that these switches are also trying to eliminate.  https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/heard-the-computer-audio-design-gc1/post...
