HumanMedia Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Excited for this product. I know quite a few people are using various software upstream to upsample audio to highest data rate that their DACs can handle, for example DSD512 and even 32bit 768khz PCM. And this is sent over the network to the player/renderer and DAC. i know the raw data for doing this is quite large, like up to 60GB for an album. So the question is, will a 10/100 Mbps switch easily handle streaming of substantially upsampled data? Thoretically probably Ok, but are there practical limits to steady streaming of this sort of data? Link to comment

Wiling to learn of an opposing scenario. Im perhaps naively assuming that the EtherRegen should be placed as the last link before the player/renderer(?) Also assuming that upsampling would be done on the server and not in the client, and that the upsampled data would be passed through over the network to the last link with the EtherRegen? (HQPlayer and LMS are like this, Roon?) Link to comment

If you want to do 8 channels of DSD512, forget it, but two is fine. As long as the DSD512 is the only connection going over that interface. You can have all kinds of stuff going over the gigabit connections on the other side, it is just the "clean" connection that is limited to 100Mbit. And yes, it is assumed that the clean port of the etherRegen will be the last device plugged into the player/renderer, hence there should be no over traffic on that connection. John S. Thanks for this info. It also answers my next question about streaming 4K video over the other gigabit ports at the same time. Sounds like it will. Thanks again. Ready to order! ? Link to comment

Not yet, not yet. But 5 years ago I couldn’t even imagine people would ever be playing DSD512. But in 5 years time maybe the EtherRegen 2.0 will be out then. ? Link to comment
HumanMedia Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 It would be great to offer one of those ground plugs as an optional paid extra for owners of JS-2? Link to comment

HumanMedia Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Tick, tick, tick... When is the moratorium lifted on beta tester opinions and reviews? At the stroke of midnight on the day of orders? Or at the time that orders go live? Link to comment
HumanMedia Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 @Superdad Sorry if Ive missed it but what is the trigger point for you shipping the first units out? Not that it affects me, but the whole process is fascinating. That is, will you wait until all of the first batch are built before shipping any? Or if 50 are ready ship those and ship another batch a few days later? What are the hurdles to shipping any right now? User manuals? Screws? Labor availability? Code? Jud 1 Link to comment
