Episode 19 Streaming Audio Network Improvement?

I've been streaming music using QOBUZ for years and have recently looked at my network configuration and components as "weak" links. Through research (like minimizing USB noise using an Uptone USB Regen with an Linear Power Supply (LPS)), I've decided to try injecting a 5 port Ubiquiti (I use Ubiquiti network gear at home) powered by an LPS and a Blue Jeans (BJC) CAT6A ethernet cable to my PC Streamer. The 5 port switch connects to a 8 port switch in my Living Room (via CAT 7) that has other devices network connected). This along with an IFI Ethernet SIlencer, and a Ferrite core around the BJC should minimize/eliminate "network" noise. These devices are minimal cost (compared to the rest ...

After 7 years of owning a Bryston BDA3 DAC, I felt it was time for an upgrade. My relatively new Magico A5 speakers revealed some things about my system, where the I felt that a DAC change would improve the sound. I searched/researched/listened to a number of candidates. This video has my impression of those DACs and my final decision. Dealers don't normally allow in-home demo's but a couple di...

Simplistic comparison of Ethernet vs Fiber sound when streaming audio. Inserted FIBER cable between the switch and PC to determine if that improves sound quality. Music played to compare results: 1.

As an audiophile I'm looking to reduce any noise from multiple sources, including power. This video shows the results of the power conditioner's ability to remove EMI (dirty power), using a Greenwave EMI Meter that measures dirty power in millivolts and audibly (speaker).

I show an overview of replacing the original fluid reservoir with a new one from the factory following the simple directions they provide. The original was screwed into the cabinet, while the new one only uses velcro to adhere to the cabinet. The PVC tubes are reconnected with PVC cement, provided by Nitty Gritty. #NittyGritty #fluidtank #1.5fi

For entertainment, comparing my reference Bryston BDA-3 DAC to the "S2" just to hear the differences, and take advantage of its MQA rendering. Using the same reference system components and only substituting the S2 for the Bryston, playing various samples of music at different resolutions to hear the differences. I was very impressed with the S2 given its price point. www.project-audio.com/en/p...
