Ethernet opinions
Hello everyone, I finally got my system setup. I had a few setbacks the past few months. My mom had lung cancer and passed away a month ago. It has been a journey getting my system set up which is part of the fun. I am running Pass Labs XP-12, pass 250.8, and Bricasti M3. My original plan was to run the Bricasti with a EERO mesh network since the modem is on the opposite end of the listening space. Needless to say the EERO mesh would not work and Roon could not see my M3. I was on the phone with Bricasti trouble shooting the issue. I removed my M3 from the system and double checked everything with it hard wired to the modem which worked. I was told I could really use any Ethernet for the most part as long as it’s cat 5 or 6. Well, I returned the EERO and got a 25 foot Ethernet cable from Best Buy for 10 dollars. The sound is much better then I was guessing running a 10 dollar cable, for me it’s deff a temp fix. Especially since I bought two audio quest vodka cables. I am using one of them now connecting the room nucleus to the modem at the moment. I have read a bit about blue Jean cables which seem to hold spec. I don’t see me buying a longer Audio quest vodka cable given the cost. In some ways I feel like I spent more then I should have on the Vodka cables at this point. Opinions please ?
@fredrik222 my post letting everyone know that you don't understand streaming was removed. If a moderator has a problem with that statement, please let me know what rule it violates. You are spreading misinformation. Streaming is not bitperfect as you are trying to convince people it is. Jerry |
Audphile1, Yes as you point out, Supra cables are really good for the money, and there are better cables than the Supra cables. I think it’s important to highlight high quality cables at a more affordable price, as everyone deserves the benefit of good cables regardless of price point, or as important, good cables for a lower cost system. I’ve found really good sound from Supra Cables (I have the Cat 8 Ethernet, Excalibur USB, 2.1 8K HDMI, and the same can be said for DH Labs, Zavfino, and Oyaide Neo. All the best |
@carlsbad2 It is not true to start with. Of course streaming is bit perfect, and on top of that it is not streaming from Qobuz, Tidal and others. It's a download. You can educate yourself on the Qobuz and Tidal support sites like I previously mentioned. So, again, you don't know what you are talking about. But I'll humor you. How is it not bit perfect given encryption, DRM, and the TCP/IP stack? And as a side note, here's where things break down, asking people who know nothing to explain, and they start the name calling when you debunk every single argument with facts. @audphile1 ring any bells? |
No. Streaming and downloading are two different things. It's rather odd that you keep insisting they are the same.
Ad hominem. It's a logical fallacy that those challenging you "know nothing." |
