Modem performance and modem selection.


How much does a modem impact sound performance when streaming high resolution music and or video via Ethernet connection?  If you believe the impact is important/noticeable, can you make a recommendation on your favoured modem? Thank you

Sadly, by the time the signal reaches the DAC it’s too late. The damage has already been done. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty 🥚 together again. 😥

Not at all. See: buffer.
“None at all.  See: buffer”. I am somewhat in the dark when you mention buffer.  I did a search on “buffer” and found numerous discussions.  Most talked about using an active buffer in the chain.  Is that what you are referring to?  If so, what brand/model do you recommend?  If not, can you help me understand what you mean by “buffer”.  Thank you 
Streaming is not a very good alternative to CD transports, sound wise, I understand.
