Ethernet connection for best sound quality


As far as I'm aware of for streaming audio with tidal hi fi plus ethernet. I need; besides modem and router.

1) A Streamer

2) A ethernet card specifically for audio jcat or matrix if I use my computer

3) Shielded ethernet cat 5 or better cable

So from wall to modem to router to streamer to dac, correct?

@akg_ca but you are utterly unqualified to do

any test like that, so it is garbage. It would like saying I did randomized control trial of the weight loss drug, sure, I did it, but it doesn’t mean anything because I am not qualified to conduct such a trial.

Seems like the author of this post is utterly incapable of listening and being able to pick out obvious and not subtle differences in their audio system.  

What a load of bollocks.

We do tests all the time, when purchasing new items. So badgerdums says I’m not qualified to listen for upgrade improvements in my system? Either on my own, or with a group of friends? But it’s my system. I’m the only one qualified to say whether I keep said items, or return them. He must be part of the ASR crowd.

This year I listened to, approved of and therefore kept:

A Puritan PSM156, Sound Anchors speaker stands, Teddy Pardo linear power supply, Puritan Ultimate power cable, Stack Audio Auva 70, Tubulus Argentus i2S cable, Plixir Elite linear power supply, Plixir Statement DC cables.

Fully qualified to do so, as is @akg_ca
