The law of diminshing returns?
@sns - thanks for your quick reply - I was under the impression that one could connect a modem directly to a single device if nothing else was connected, for less possible signal loss, and wondered if you had taken that route.  Which router are yo... 
The law of diminshing returns?
@sns - may I ask if you hardwire your modem directly to your server/streamer or if you have a router in between? Also what linear power supply and DC cable you use for your modem? Do excuse my asking in this way, as it appears audiogon no longer a...
