tboooe Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 In my setup, I have a wireless bridge downstairs that accesses via Wifi AC my music files from a NAS upstairs which is connected to my wireless router with a cat 6 cable. Typically when streaming FLAC files I get speeds around 95-80 mbps. Considering how far away my music system is from the wireless router upstairs I am very happy with this speed. The thing that baffles me is if I try to stream DSF files my speed (at least according to Task Manager in Server R2) slows to around 24 mbps. This change in speed is 100% repeatable. Does anyone why this might happen? I check my CPU usage and it only increases by a few percentage points when streaming high res FLAC versus DSF. 12TB NAS >> i7-6700 Server/Control PC >> i3-5015u NAA >> Singxer SU-1 DDC (modded) >> Holo Spring L3 DAC >> Accustic Arts Power 1 int amp >> Sonus Faber Guaneri Evolution speakers + REL T/5i sub (x2) Other components: UpTone Audio LPS1.2/IsoRegen, Fiber Switch and FMC, Windows Server 2016 OS, Audiophile Optimizer 3.0, Fidelizer Pro 6, HQ Player, Roonserver, PS Audio P3 AC regenerator, HDPlex 400W ATX & 200W Linear PSU, Light Harmonic Lightspeed Split USB cable, Synergistic Research Tungsten AC power cords, Tara Labs The One speaker cables, Tara Labs The Two Extended with HFX Station IC, Oyaide R1 outlets, Stillpoints Ultra Mini footers, Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, Vicoustic/RealTraps/GIK room treatments Link to comment
Gregory Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Different reading algorithm in your streamer? For flac file is probably smaller and can be read at once in a reasonable amount of time, whereas for DSD it's bigger and read in chunk? Link to comment
