I use ethernet directly to my QX-5 Twenty, but I bought a microRendu to use between a Mini that tuns Roon 24/7 and an Ayre Codex. It hasn't been shipped yet. I hope Roon doesn't have a problem finding it as an endpoint.
Ayre QX-5 Twenty steaming performance
I am interested in trying out an Ayre QX-5 Twenty with the Ethernet Bridge for steaming either Tidal or Qobuz. Does anyone have experience with streaming Tidel or Qobuz directly to the QX-5 Twenty? if so, was the result as good as streaming from a dedicated streamer to the QX-5 Twenty? I would like to go with a one box solution for streaming, but also with great SQ if possible. Thanks.

@dbphd https://www.sonore.us/systemoptique.html Take a look at the optical network. The optical cable is supposed to eliminate noise, unlike regular Ethernet. I am going to set up an optical network next and either buy a DAC with an optical input (such as Lumin X1) or take a look at the Sonare optical network kit which allows optical to USB (via a few devices). |
