They are very low cost and have a decent reputation for sound quality too, I have cables that cost more! In fact, thinking about it, the cover for my Pro-Ject turntable costs more than a Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital, a case of economies of scale I guess.(09-Aug-2018, 15:45)Confused Wrote:(09-Aug-2018, 14:48)ogs Wrote: Hi @Confused , I think @petrik says that his other Roon zones play 768 kHz, not Devialet... on the other hand a down-sampler routine on the CI board would be a nice feature.
Yes, that would make sense. Plus, that is quite interesting. @petrik - what exactly are use using as a "Roon zone" that can run 768kHz wifi? I am just curious, that's all.
Yes, I'm having two different Roon zones / rooms. The same Roon Nucleus+ is used on both zones.
Streaming works perfectly fine to this "Office" zone up to 768 kHz and DSD512. No crackles or anything. It just works beautifully.
- The main listening room. There I have the Roon Nucleus+, Devialets etc. The playback chain there is simply: Roon Nucleus+ -> Netgear GS108 switch -> Devialet 1000 Pro. All Ethernet wired.
- Office. The playback chain there is a bit more complicated because the Roon Nucleus+ is located in the main listening room and I don't have an Ethernet connection between these two rooms. The playback chain there is basically: Roon Nucleus+ -> Netgear GS108 switch -> Netgear Orbi Satellite -> Wifi -> Netgear Orbi Router -> PC (W10) -> Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital -> Genelec 8330.
I'm having those crackling noise problems in the main listening room when streaming high res. 16/44.1 works perfectly there though.
