Try connecting the Transporter to your network using WiFi instead of Ethernet.
Do you hear any difference in sound quality? If not, then there's little to gain by worrying about the Ethernet cables in your network. The setup in my home network: Transporter in home theater connected with short Ethernet cable to an Ethernet switch. Ethernet switch connected with short Ethernet cable to wall jack. 30' run of Ethernet cable in wall connected to patch panel in the basement. Patch panel connected to router with short Ethernet cable. VortexBox Appliance running LMS in office connected with short Ethernet cable to Ethernet switch. Ethernet switch connected with short Ethernet cable to Ethernet wall jack. 30' run of Ethernet cable in the wall connected to patch panel in basement. Patch panel in basement connected with short Ethernet cable to router. All of this cable is cat 5 or cat 5e. Generic stuff; nothing exotic. Guess what: it sounds marvelous. Good source material, good electronics, excellent player, excellent speakers, positioned properly, electronic room correction with Audyssey in my Denon AVR. Audio heaven. Sounds as if you have already done a lot to optimize the performance of your audio system. Time to stop worrying and enjoy the music. Don't succumb to audiophilia nervosa, or if already afflicted, try this cure: listen to some of your favorite music with your favorite beverage close at hand. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=audiophilia%20nervosa -- Ron Olsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Olsen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9233 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93316 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
