How to get solid stereo

[Dreuther]

Has anyone had success with a direct cable? I tried with a cat-5 and cat-6 and failed. I only heard audio from the Reactor connected via optical. Once I put the network switch back into the circuit it worked correctly. I did try powering off and recreating the stereo pai without success.

My 2 900s are connected directly through an Ethernet cable (no router involved) and it works great. Right after I did the setup only one speaker produced sound. A random power outage restarted the whole system and the stereo setup works perfectly now.
