Wasn’t talking to you, Hans.

You implicitly misunderstood. Not only the one post but the entire conversation pointing to specific, inexpensive battery-powered solutions for WiiM products. It's about a simple solution for better audio. It's not about a charged word like "superior" entering the chat. Look how the denialists...

No. Why undercut victory? I shall do no such thing! Happy Thanksgiving and to all with Cisco Meraki and a battery-powered WiiM a good nite.

Asked and answered. Who said superior? I've offered lots of data and industry references in audio to aid others who wish to consider trying some quite inexpensive changes in their systems for the better. It's been received with some denialists who claim to have superior knowledge but lack any...

The victory is mine. The victory for others with very good audio systems will be theirs, to all the battery-powered low-investment followers. As seen, the technical knowledge has been provided, published and shared. No matter what you do, you can't stop us now! To those who love better audio...

Let's ignore the "necessarily" part. 😝 Sound the retreat!

Swing and a miss. Rob Watts had a lot more to say then the limited offering you posted just last year. To my repeated point, despite the denialists: "For low power DAC amps Li ion batteries are also ideal" Any PSU needs to be compared against battery operation - if the SMPS sounds identical to...

Your allegations are what's pointless and utterly lame. I prefer the Scientific Method. Don't do angel dust, kids.

The quality of an LPS and how battery power is delivered apparently both play significant roles with (source) equipment. Rob Watts of Chord shared his thoughts on this aspect with different connections to DACs which was rather interesting. It went deep into the weeds.

My fault because I referenced recent system enhancement in my tube amp monoblock system. I noted that both the Cisco switches and replacing an LPS to the WiiM with a battery-powered version saw improvements with both. Mea culpa.

Then you have a basic gap in understanding the data integrity transfer is not the sole aspect in the final outcome to human hearing. The Cisco switches have, without a doubt an impact on the audio quality. The question of how and why remains available for further exploration. For those who...

I'm no audiophile, I'm a 🐴 damnit.

No, I'm not. Had no belief that ethernet cables could matter. Please nooooo.

I’ve heard a difference in an internet provider’s fiber optic router service, Cisco models as noted earlier and a LPS- battery powered WiiM streamer in my full range tube amp monoblock system. Wasn’t subtle. YMMV. There’s potential interference with the Ethernet cable. Did see this video...

It certainly can be viewed as a test even lacking a single variable cited. Adding that in also makes it difficult if not impossible for the blind tested participant to make note of their listening impressions. If there is a potential unknown alteration made by the test conductor change every...
