There has been quite a few threads on the Wam both in two channel and here about reducing noise on those of us with digital system were we send music over an ethernet connection . Ti this end i have to be up front and say i have fitted LPSU units on my system at all points possible and this has most certainly in my case reduced back ground noise and produced a better more natural sound . Others my disagree and say this is just me imagining it , which of course may well be true but I enjoy the music more so things will stay .
I visited another Wammer yesterday who has just started on streaming and is using a Mano Ultra II Music Streamer which is a Pi based item with considerable work on reclocking etc. Sounded very good . I had been sending PM,s with Paull for a while and advised him to buy one of the Cisco Network Switches that are going for £25 for new old stock . He did and had not been able to get it to work . A quick plug and turn by me having used them before got everythin g working after the usual self diagnosis it goers through and once we were playing music again I noticed a jump in sound quality and a reduction in back ground noise . Paul was less sure as it was music he did not know but one things was cvertain it was not any worse.
Did a quick look at his streamer and they offer the following as an add on . Thye seem quite concerned with noise getting in to the system so wondered has anyone tried one of these ? I can see how they work and would this help even more in getting the Server as noise free as possible .
