I know that before and that's the reason that i use the cat700 where i can have the choice of grounding . In my case everything is properly connected so that unwanted currents are not possible. RE: Does direct Ethernet connection improve sound over wireless for you? - andrew_brown - 17-Jan-2017 I have my Dialog and Phantoms connected to a power strip and PLC works perfectly. I tried using ethernet connections to a dumb strip on my network. No difference in sound quality or reliability (perfect as it was). However, with the the ethernet connections in place I noticed that on occasions one Phantom would use the ethernet route while the other one used PLC. Though I did not notice any reduction in SQ, I worried that there might be timing problems. Maybe this was the source of poorer SQ in other ethernet set-ups? Anyway I removed the ethernet connections and went back to pure PLC. Quality of CAT cable should not make any difference (unless it is broken, or the plugs make a poor connection); for an audio set-up the packet traffic is well below the capacity of the slowest cables available. A crappy router just might cause problems, but I think that unlikely. |
