Now that AIR 3 proves to be more stable, would you recommend the "Mac mini > ETHERNET > D200" set up over "Mac mini > USB > D200" ?
Today I just connect the Mac mini to D200 with an audio quest Carbon USB - works fine but i wondered if AIR (Ethernet/Wifi) is better
Sorry but I'm totally lost with all these set ups ...
Thanks !
olivier, compared usb and eth connection today. in my system to my ears it was a close call. the eth sounded a tiny bit less digital if you will. highs were a bit smoother.
I have to say that and I'm using a very high end usb cable with a jitterbug and the eth cable is just a midfi aq cinnamon. for
a fair comparison one would have to use same cable in both formats from same manufacturer.
also the eth cable I got from a friend who had no use for it who, strangely, does not remember whether he ever used it. it may be new and need a long burn in.
Highly modded avantgarde omega duos, slightly modded d200, d-sonics m3 800 s class d amp to drive the subs of my duos, all equipment on silent running audio platforms.

S/C is Shunyata biwire Delta, 2 Delta p/c on the bridge and bass amp, Synergestic dev p/c on the 200, all connected to Shunyata Denali power conditioner
