creativepart Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 What DAC? Connecting via USB or what? Is that connection a long run too? Why only Cat 5 from modem to the HiFi Room. Should be 5e or 6 shouldn't it? Analog: Rega P8 > Ortofon Cadenza Black > Bob's Devices 20:1 SUT > EAR 834P Deluxe MM/MC tube phono stage Digital: Shanling ET-3 CD Transport.

creativepart Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 All of those items are good - the Lumin U1Mini isn't top of the line any more. But it shouldn't be noticeably a SQ issue. Of course, amp and speakers could make all the difference. But I'd assume you have equally good gear there. Can you move the computer to the HiFi room for testing and connect it directly to the DAC and see how that sounds? Does streaming Tidal Masters or Qobuz HiFi sound the same as the flac files on the SSD? I would assume those flac files are 16/44.1??
