Hermanh,

Do you have any experience yet or are you waiting for the next full moon?

I have not found the time yet, sorry....

I finally found the time to experiment:

All it took was a pair of Ethernet media converters that converts my Ethernet switch UTP CAT7 signals to fiber and back to CAT7 into the Devialet.  I used a Teddy Pardo 5V linear power supply to power the Media convertors to ensure quality power.

The convertor is similar to the ones below:

This resulted in substantial increase in clarity and overall "blackness". It was no slouch before but this proves to be quite an improvement for me.

This is a cheap tweak and I encourage you to try it out and tell us if your experience is similar and I am not imagining things.

Hi,

Sorry for this belated response.  I've just got to know this wonderful tweak a few days ago after reading Michael Lavorna's report on AudioStream and all related links.  Long story short, I'm enjoying the isolated audio network using a pair of Media Converters and a length of fiber cable.

Thank you for discovering this tweak two years before some others including me get to know about and try it with positive results one to two years after.

I'm wondering what the ethernet media converter could add more, especially if/when you use an unearthed ethernet cable. Maybe it's a "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" thing.

More info on the TDK part: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en...-ND/607185

Besides the galvanic isolation contribute to different SQ, I wonder not all input's upsampling is handle by the BB SRC4392 above.  As the ethernet input support DSD64 decode by MAT (MINIMAL ARITHMETIC TRANSFORM) running in FPGA, will it actually handle the upsampling for PCM from network streaming as well ?


Any idea on this ?

Hello, maybe it helps!

Other type, inside

Sorry my question is who is doing the up sampling for the Ethernet input.
