@Snoopy8
So you connected the phantoms to the EtherRegen and the intel nuc and from there to a standard switch?
Did you use specific cables or just a generic cat 6-7 .
Before the EtherRegen and after did you notice a big difference?
An interesting article I read lately...

I was using Monoprice Cat6 on the A side and a Supra Cat8 on the B side. I tried a Wireworld Cat8 and SOtM Cat7 but did not like the sound.
The EtherRegen gave a darker background and with less smearing of instruments. You could hear more detail, clarity.

hi
i am using phantom gold i use tidal and spotify via airplay? does adding a cxnv2 via a digital input make any difference to the sound? isn't Airplay lossless.
i thought using phantom gold via airplay wa the best option
please correct me if i am wrong
RE: Cnx2 to phantoms - eladeb - 09-Jul-2020
Hi @bluestar
im pretty sure that airplay is not the best way to go maybe airplay 2 (not supported at this moment) bupnp its 24/192

Hi thank you for answering. So what do u suggest one should use to get most out of the phantoms ? I was under the impression that airplay via tidal is good enough as it does 16/44.

Looking at its bits and bitrate capability is not enough to determine what is better. You have to listen and compare.
RE: Cnx2 to phantoms - eladeb - 10-Jul-2020
I just bought myself few days ago rp3b with hifiberry digi pro+ with l2s chip ,it goes directly to phantom with optical and volumio installed.
Very nice setup but again it doesn't fills to me like a premium speaker .
And this is the most expensive system i ever owned!
Something else iv noticed is the overwhelming bass but not in the good way like low bass that overcome every other mid/high sound the the phantom producing.
When i get up from the couch the bass is changing to normal.
Super wierd
(Or not (: )

Ideally use speaker stands and position them away from walls, not in corner. It appears that you have placement issues and bass modes/holes in the room. Can you please provide a photo of your Phantoms and a sketch of your room with details such as windows, doors, location of speakers, listening position etc.
