last mile ethernet

[Jwg1749]

Hi Matt, no problem of course, it is a discussion forum after all. When you record the ethernet AIR input using the USB output of the Devialet the music signal remains in the digital domain where I believe no differences should be seen if the conversion from ethernet to USB inside the Devialet itself is of course also bit-perfect. Again I believe differences are most likely the result of analog signal interference that perhaps induces jitter or dirties the ground planes affecting the D/A process or analog output signal out of the DAC into the amplifier circuits and maybe even these amplifier circuits themselves.

Yes, that makes sense.
In that case I'll have to resort to recording the output some other way.
Cheers,
Matt
