Streaming via Coax
My system is in that awesome period of final tweaks and finishing touches (yeah right . . . ).
So I'm just looking to try some galvanic isolation to my streamer as it runs off some HDD's through powerline adapters (yes I know bad bad bad for the mains) but they are isolated from the ring my hifi is on at least.
Just wondered if anyone has heard audible benefits to running coax adapters? Technically I can see the benefit as it stops electrical noise and interference, certainly more so than running straight from the adapter/router.
I've also heard some people benefit from running a linear powered network switch/hub just before the streamer, any advice one this?
Cheers.
