Sweet - do you use an Ethernet switch between your router and your Bricasti or hook right from router?
If you or anyone reading this doesn’t use a Ethernet switch I’m going to hook you guys up for cheap money:
Order this on Amazon for $20.00
Netgear GS108 Switch
also order a Breeze Audio 12v Linear Power Supply on eBay for $60 and any decent quality made in China 12v Linear Power Supply on EBay and you will psyched by the upgrade.
if you don’t feel like waiting 2 weeks to get from China then just grab a iFi 12v little power supply for $50 - I have both and like the China Linear Supply better.
Under $100 upgrade that makes your $12,000 DAC Sound much better.
This is a must add for anyone using Ethernet Audio.
Also, while your at it order 2 of the 12v power supplies and power your router also. So two 12v linear power supplies to power your new switch and your current router.
Also, when adding the Netgear switch you will need another Ethernet cable to run from router to switch. A great cheap one is the AudioQuest Forest that is like $30 for a short one. Decent enough and cheap.
Ethernet is the best because the noise crud from the PC is gone but adding a non managed gigabyte Ethernet switch helps and then getting clean power to run it helps a bit more and removing the switching mode power supply that powers your current router add more and the combo is a nice little tweak. Anyone with Ethernet Audio can get a nice little bump from these little tweaks :)
