There IS a way for dirty ground from a digital environmnet to get over
a wire to a clean environment, its called a ground loop. In order for
this to happen there has to be a loop (hence the name!) A loop is
caused when there is more than one path that ground currents can take
from one environment

can the same (hypothetical) pollution travel over the ethernet wire,
does it matter in that input anyway since it's not (or is it?) directly

Ethernet ports are connected through isolation transformers. These are

OT: you've been on a posting storm! - 4150 posts? I think only kdf has

Perhaps I should start selling C37-lacquer-coated isolation
transformers for the audiophile price of $249.99.
The comment wasn't meant to offend and was perhaps a question. I'm not
entirely sure how isolation
well funnily enough, if it is good enough for gigabit networking...it's
going to be just fine for anything less demanding!
There is going to be no...NO...real difference between wired vs. wi-fi
in terms of sound quality using the digital o/p to a DAC (analogue may
be another story). How many
So one of the main advantages of the Transporter is that it plays the
music outside of the computer, in the cleaner environment.
Since I'm using it as an external DAC too to play the sounds from the
soundcard when needed (everything except music), I was wondering:
Can the coax connection from

switching noise or other computer-related 'quirk' while Transporter is
playing on it's own?
Maybe airborne from all the various cables

hehe, such questions ask for such humor but I am really interested.
Mainly because at the moment the coax from the soundcard sounds better
to me and I'm willing to sacrifice that sound quality if it would help

I could

You might look at Audi Circle. There is a thread discussing wired V
wireless.
Some people claim wired sounds better.
I don't hear any difference at all in my system.
Thanks but I already saw it and decided to go with wired (haven't
tested but I feel more at ease if

That doesn't mean it isn't important to me, even if only from the
theoretical standpoint.
The problem is, you can argue theoretically wither way - either the
wifi card causes problems, or the grounding
