Re: Ethernet switch test
Let me clarify and say that the OR is a great product (using as an endpoint for high rate PCM > DSD HQP upsampling with NOS DAC's), along with the WW starlight USB I used is a fantastic combo

Re: Ethernet switch test
Right, the "resolution" is pretty meaningless in and of itself. Hi-res, redbook, dsd etc..It's always about the masters and where it comes from full stop.

Re: Ethernet switch test
? The Sonore site says OR is sold out not discontinued. The MR says discontinued though.
Can’t imagine they would discontinue the OR, maybe a new version but discontinued? -

Absolutely stunning. Read about those from the last high end '22 show. The tech + drivers look to be SOTA and thought aesthetically, they are one the best looking spkrs I've seen in a very long time

And similarly, how good the Amber 3 must be, since the Baltic is based of that (basically a souped up A3) if I’m not mistaken? Never heard one though.

Re: Building Your Own Audio Streamer - Roon, Spotify, DLNA, HQPlayer
Anyone found a HAT or Pi using fiber (SFP)? I believe Cubox (Clearfog) has a all in one solution with a SFP built in which could be used in a similar application for an endpoint.
