Noisy ethernet cables
@erik_squires ,   With the twisted pair, you wound need to be running them pretty close. Packet bursts could demodulate to audible frequencies so there is a mechanism for the noise transfer even if the transmission frequency is high. I suspect t... 
Noisy ethernet cables
@erik_squires , I would have more faith in a lower cost, higher volume product from a lesser vendor, that has the proper equipment for testing, and probably more experience, that a boutique vendor who in many cases is winging it. I am not saying ...

That was some serious foo-foo by the way.  
The Big Misconception About Electricity
@teo_audio , Fyi, mr debunker: Just one point among thousands....Toyota corporation has patents, patents that have been applied for, been evaluated and passed scientific muster...and have been granted..on atomic transmutation. For a good 5 years... 
Noisy ethernet cables
@erik_squires , Except the Ethernet connector, metal shell, where the connector plugs into, is usually connected to the metal enclosure to improve the EMI. Even before shielded Ethernet cables were common, most connector shells were metal to for... 
.? Digital Reclocking and syncing clocks does anyone know the correct Answrrsb
What I meant to say is  the digital stream is never perfect, But the much more costly units  have many ways to correct Jitter or timing errors ,   What  you are saying is wrong. There is no jitter on USB of Ethernet inherent in the data transm... 
Noisy ethernet cables
@erik_squires , sorry that is wrong. Many shielded ethernet cables ARE shielded on both ends, and that shield connects to case ground on both ends. Audio circuits often have capacitive couping to case ground if not a direct connection from the DC... 
The Big Misconception About Electricity
If you did a book report, that means you read one book, and decided everything in it was 100% correct. That is not research at that point. Now, our entire global electrical power system is NOT due to Tesla. AC power usage predates Tesla. Polypha... 
Is a USB stick directly into ones streamer (renderer) better than streaming from a PC/NAS?
Whether the digital Data is sourced from USB or ethernet the clock for the DAC is the couple from the data source. There is no evidence that the incoming data connection causes jitter on the output. That would be very very difficult to occur on et... 
What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
Both USB and ethernet are connected to the same internal AMBA bus in the internal pi 4 processor. They didn't separate out things the processor in the pi 3 and 3b did not have integrated ethernet. The new processor has integrated ethernet and only...

Well played @acman3   
Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server?
How can any review of a piece of audio equipment not comment on the "sound" of the component at all?   Because some components, when designed that way, really don’t have a sound compared to their similarly designed peers. That people won’t acc... 
Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound
I expect any quality issues someone experience with Roon are setup issues. A while ago I compared bit-streams passing through Roon. There was 0 degradation. It is sending out bit perfect, it cannot be negatively affecting the sound.  
Noisy ethernet cables
@erik_squires , You probably want to stick with shielded Ethernet, regardless of the Cat #   Why? Many devices don’t have connectors that support the shield connection. Worse, shields connected at both end are prone to creating ground loops. T...

Feel pity for the people that use every post to insult, bully, and lecture everyone. They have bigger issues affecting their life.
