Jean-Marie
I am very sure that after years of experimenting, with Ethernet, cables, EtherRegen with afterdark clock and LPS and optical modules and LPS on modem/router etc. there is no going back on my phantom golds.
The difference is substantial
At this moment i can observe every change even if it is only of 1 cable.
Not true! My opinion. What Jean-Marie wrote is correct! Fact: Phantoms receive the streamed music, either through internal PLC, Ethernet or WiFi and store it internally… and then play the received stream. For this reason independent of how you stream to the Phantoms all is equal for a specific protocol. What matters is which protocol you use. RAAT has best bandwidth, then comes UPNP, then AirPlay2, then Spotify connect or mp3. Optical input is worse than RAAT and UPNP. I made measurements of all these protocols and see the differences in bandwidth, mainly on the cut-off frequency of the different protocols when playing 96k/24 bit music or for measurements sine sweep functions.
