[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Wired vs Wireless Thoughts and Q

2011-02-06 Thread Deaf Cat

Have been following soundchecks thread with interest, so thought I would
try an access point to take away the wireless card operation from my
SB2.

Can't get the access point to let the SB talk to the server ;-( after
many hours of frustration over 3 weekends.

Any way, just wired it today through the conservatory across the
kitchen and lounge, no one else in ;-)

Interesting, the soundstage shrunk considerably in depth, but opened
out side to side amazingly, imaging/positioning in 2d, I guess, got far
better, but lost some clarity.

Just switched back to wireless, soundstage narrowed and deepened,
clarity is back, but I'm missing the width and clearer imaging.

Easy Q ;-)

How do I get best of both worlds ?

:D

2011-02-06 Thread earwaxer9

I also noticed a difference between wifi and ethernet. I like eternet
better. For me, wifi was a bit weaker. Like the difference between a
powerful AM station and an average power FM broadcast. At first I
though I liked the wifi better. In some ways it sounded a bit more
real or analog. After further listening I realized it was not as
dynamic. Thats why it sounded less digital. Less soundstage. Smaller
sound. This was via my transporter. On further experimentation I also
realized that upsampleing my redbook to 24/96 improved the sound again.
Much debate on both of these observations, as you are probably aware!

Correct !

If you are going spdif digital it's even more correct.

If spliting hairs it's very very very unlikely.

In a situation like this when something imposible apears to be
happening.
Where to start investigating.

1. Simple deterministic machine whos behaviur is fully understood.

Vs.

2. Unimaginably more complex human brain, with a known documented
tendency to imagine things in all other situations.



There 1000 other good and - real reason - to go wired.
I'm an engineer so I like technically simple solutions, if two physical
objects are stationary why don't connect them with a wire instead of
some fragile complicated minature radio juju.
It migth actually work reliable.

I guess it is the same as comparing different methods of transporting a
CD from the shelf to the CD player - you may as well look for sound
quality differences resulting from carrying it while wearing slippers
vs. barefoot...

I can't help thinking there should be a sticky for this, to prevent
it being asked every week...
