| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Thanks @lak , that is helpful and the type of information that is good to see. A product description can ultimately only get you so far, but more info. is always a plus in my book. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Agree with maxima95. Veritas looks interesting and I like the idea of supporting a small cable maker selling direct to consumers at reasonable prices, but I also like to do a little research and know what I am getting. I looked at their website a... | |
| Shunyata Ethernet Cable User Experience- Delta vs Theta Hi @norust No direct experience with the Delta or Theta, but I recently posted my thoughts on the Alpha (one step up in the line) in another recent thread "Ethernet Cables". A bit of speculation here, but I would guess that these cables would fit... | |
| Ethernet cables I recently posted my thoughts on ethernet cables in another thread, but will add some detail here as well. I started using a generic ethernet cable thinking it made little or no difference between my Uptone Etherregen and DAC. I then bought a Cabl... | |
| I Was A Skeptic Now I'm Not So Sure Auto correct typo: meant Sablon Ethernet | |
| I Was A Skeptic Now I'm Not So Sure In my system, ethernet cables sound noticeably different. And to those who claim this is due to expectation bias, I will add that I found a cheap Amazon Cable Maters Cat8 to sound quite good. I also have tried a $1200 Shunyata Alpha Ethernet cable... | |
| Streamer vs Directstream Memory Player Interesting to read these comments and makes me wonder if I am getting the most out of my Bricasti M3 (Mdx card). I have always used it with the ethernet connection which I think is excellent. My experience has been very different than that of @au... | |
| A cable too perfect? Hi @zlone. Thanks for helping me with my decision to purchase the Audionet Amp 1 v2! I am really enjoying it. I can't say I am an expert on this amp since I only got it recently and haven't yet tried many cables with it; however, it does appear t... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz Interesting that multiple people report opposite conclusions on which one sounds better. Maybe this is due to personal preferences in sound or, as @nyev mentioned, there could be other variables at play. Maybe differences in hardware, internet ser... | |
| Audio racks that can handle heavy components I haven't heard Atacama from the UK mentioned. I spent a lot of time looking a while back and ended up purchasing the Evoque Design Edition. It has been extremely solid and hasn't flinched with 200lbs on it. I thought it was "reasonably priced" re... | |
| Pass XA25 for my system Happy New Year everyone. I wanted to circle back to this thread since the new amp has been playing for 5 days now and I have some initial thoughts on it. It is exactly what I was looking for and I am really pleased that I went with the Audionet Am... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion Hi @jimboman. Thanks for the kind words. I have an Audionet Amp heading to me to try replacing the Hegel, but it already sounds pretty great as is. I am running Roon on a Sonicorbiter i9 optical server and going through fiber to the OM. I can ups... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion Got it. Your OM is on the upstream side of the fiber whereas mine is on the downstream side and feeds directly into my DAC. That probably explains some of the differences we are observing. Your Lumin probably does a very good job of feeding a clea... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @jimboman Congrats on the Bricasti M3, that is what I also have and I like it a lot. As I mentioned previously, I run an ethernet cable directly from the OM into the Mdx network card on the M3. Is that how you are also using your OM? For me the OM... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @sns "I should also add the Mundorf diy DC cables made a far larger difference than I was expecting" I can second this observation. I tried both the Sonore DC4 and a Ghent GAC-4/1 star quad and didn't hear much difference over a cheap stock cable... |
