Hearing messages playing backwards like old Beatles records in nostalgic
but records are so limited, and high maintenance I just can5 be bother , I have been slowly getting digital when I am happy start8ng with Avery good combo router like the Motorola 8702 ,you never want a separate modem,router too many extra wires and not as fast or cohesive and the new ones faster processor docsis 3.1 4x faster then older 3.0 allare 12 volt in newer combos ,little green computer 12 v 8 amp Linesr Power Supply $299 put a better Dc cable and a good fuse your stream8ng is that much better ,little green computer buy Sonore Ethernet to Fiber optic media converter and decent power cords minimum Pangea awg14 se mk2 power cords. Then on the clean side a Sonore deluxe Femto media converter out to Ethernet with the excellent Linear Tube Audio LPS power supply .if you truly want to get to reference level you have to eliminate Everything that creates noise in the signal path.and quality Ethernet cables as well as usb , all are parts of the weak link in the chain, the dac is most $$ and still have the better part of the year to save for a great dac like the T&A 200 dac that’s around $7k. Everything adds up.
