Digital tweaks or upgrades that do work
Having lots of computer based audio for over 6 years or more from the 1st Bryston digital player
which was not always smooth saying with firmware issues,
currently I have what I feel the best Dac -Streamer high end value in Audio ,the Bricasti M3 with Streamer board Roon ready. Tweaks, upgrades that truly work , taken from their upper end dacs
Sill points I put the ultra mini under the dac , and also have a polished slab of granite which makes a outstanding anti vibration piece and a 15x15 piece polished$150:a true bargain , the Still points just add to the musicality ,stereo separation and detail, not cheap $500 retail but work well.
the Ethernet hub or switch ,the stock netgear is noisy ,a noticeable improvement is the Uptone Audio
Ether Regen which cleans and isolates the signal going to your streamer,
the Ethernet cables also a very noticeable increase in resolution , I am using the very cost effective
Wireworld Starlight from modem to router , and I currently have a long 32 ft run of Beldons top cat 6 certified 500 MHz , which I will be upgrading with the same Starlight 10 m , the most difference noticed though is from the Uptone Audio hub to the streamer which I am also using the Wireworld starlight cable at $210 a M
a true bargain cat8; Ethernet cable. Lines are dedicated awg10 -4 wire dual ground , 1 common ground
1 insulated isolated ground , with 2 -5Ft Copper grounding rods.
