If you feed it using any device in this list

Devices with built-in NAA:
aqua LinQ
exaSound s88 Streaming DAC
T+A SDV 3100 HV
Sonore microRendu/ultraRendu as a NAA

Like any other media player it supports the audio devices you can connect to a PC.
Unlike most media players, it also offers NAA, Signalist own network protocol.
This allows you to send the audio...

I most of all wonder how this is going to work.
You have a media player, set it to up-sample, use a specific filter, etc and send this to your DAC.
Except in the rare case you have a filter less...

Most media players allow you to apply ReplayGain: ReplayGain - Wikipedia
If you make random playlist, use track gain.
As Nicoff pointed out, it is digital volume control.
This won't do any harm.

You might wonder if there is any improvement at all when using a "audiophile" switch.

I wonder if this is correct.
Let’s assume we have a proper 24 bit recording with sufficient headroom.
The loudest a DAC can play is 0 dBFS
Assume 20 dB headroom so the loudest passage is -20 dBFS....

Small wonder as the dynamic range of plain 16 bit PCM is 96 dB.
This doesn’t mean that it is limited to 96.
Somebody mentioned Pacific Microsonics. They invented the HDCD
Indeed there are tricks...

They are back
From the press release

As of July 2020 the ownership of Metrum Acoustics is back with its original founders.
The brand, intellectual property and inventory have been bought back...

Wonder what your needs are.
This is a sender that needs a receiver and the receiver does have line out only.

You can connect a headphone amp to it but than you have a wired solution.
You might...

They?

To the best of my knowledge Cees Ruijtenberg was the founder and owner of Metrum Acoustics.
In 2018 he sold Metrum.
The new owners tried to turn it from a technical driven company into a...

Its performance is measured here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/silent-angel-bonn-n8-audio-grade-ethernet-switch.12360/

It depends very much on the implementation.
Even with SBC (the mandatory codec) lossless transmission is theoretically possible but as nobody implements that, in practice it is high bitrate MP3 (320...

Have a look here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-wireworld-starlight-7-usb-cable.6599/

At least there is a measurable difference

He does.
Have a good look at the Tagger and the Cleaner

Yep, even the more structured databases are pretty inconsistent in tagging classical.

I use MusiChi for tagging classical.
It has almost all composers and all the works of major composers.
It...

This I do think a nice comparison.
The RME ADI-Pro (AD/DA) and the ADI2 DAC use the same DAC (chip)
The ADI2 has a femto clock, the Pro not.
Indeed there is a measurable improvement in the jitter...

Excellent advice by Nicoff.

FLAC uses OGG Vorbis comments as its tagging schema.
I have never experienced any problems with FLAC tags.

Building and maintaining the library.
This is about...

I do think FLAC is an excellent choice.
· Lossless.
· Excellent tagging support including cover art.
· Allows storing custom tags in the file.
· Checksum stored in...

All the patents covering MP3 have expired.
So it is not RIP MP3 but RIP licence fees :)

Let split another one :D
In the end the connection is an will be electrical.
Why should a port on the TP-Link causing less interference than one on the average switch?

Part of the Ethernet standard is mandatory galvanic isolation.
Makes one wonder why using optics will help.
Let’s assume even although there is galvanic isolation, that if you plug the Ethernet...

I obvious read something in your post you didn’t say at all
Sorry

I'm afraid there are many digital devices and they do differ in their computing power and word length.
The result of sample rate conversion will vary between devices depending on the algorithm...
