Cable it all on one network. If the server is too far from the router
use home plug with 2 Ethernet ports at the server end - one for the
server and one for the Transorter.

All these differences go away once you do proper tests like ABX .
Any reasonably good transport is completely transparent to a human
listener . And in most cases the output from the dac is electrically
identical so there teally is no difference at all .

Yes the most likly cause for these differences is sigthed listening
test with some learned audiophile bias .

With the small differences in question  100dB down in the noise or
nonexisting .
All sigthed testing are just anectotes and contain no real information
.

If one subjectively experience very large differences something is ver
wrong either one is heavily biased or the equipment is broken.

What kind of dac are we talking about ? There are a lot of high end
stuff that performs no better than a chinese dvd player for 50$ so price
really has nothing to do with it .

If th e equipment in question is audiophile enough it can be broken by
design :/ nos dac anyone ?

Btw is this tread dead now ? Due to natural causes ? Its complete off

Hi Guy's been a while since I have been here, good to be back. 

I did a fresh install of Freenas 7.4 with Slimnas 2.0.2 and LMS 7.80 on

I've never heard grain in sound. I can hear different levels of
compression pretty well. I think equipment has to be level matched
before you make any worthwhile comparisons. I also heard that
implementation of asynchronous usb and other digital outputs was crucial
to performance. Perhaps these could be the reasons for difference in
sound?

Every cloud has a silver lining. Whilst I was originally pretty irate at
the streams being broken, I'm now glad the change happened but not
overly happy with the way it happened.

Even listening to 6 music the improvement in quality is pretty amazing,
it's like discovering radio all over again.
