Waiting for this new solution... has anybody tested the influence of replacing the SPSU of the WiFi router used to stream to the Devialet by a good quality LPSU ?
I made two tests:
These observations will probably help me avoid the temptation of upgrading my sMS-200 to the sMS-200 Ultra, as well as buying a Ref10 from Mutec. Nice savings.
I made two tests:
- one with a standard HDPlex powering my MacMini and the WiFi router used to stream to the Devialet: in this configuration, I noticed a clear improvement of the reliability of the streaming to the Devialet. The transparency was on par with if not superior to the SOtM sMS-200 + Mutec MC-3+ USB I also have installed
- then with a recently received Paul Hynes SR7 LPSU: in this configuration, not only does the reliability of streaming through AIR 3.0.4 remain very good, but the noise floor decreases significantly, at the same time than the transparency and the level of audible details increases drastically. In this configuration, streaming with Roon/AIR is significantly better on my system than sMS-200 + Mutec.
