Old topic networking weird twist

We have to be really really careful here, and Paul isn’t. You can’t conflate these domains just because they’re digital.
Streaming consists of pre- and post-streamer; the former (ethernet) is asynchronous and jitter/timing is simply not a thing - by definition. Packets are sent but are also resent if they are checked and found wanting. Timing comes in after the streamer and post-streamer is where reclocking makes a difference, etc.

"It strips away the noise and aligns every packet so it arrives precisely when it should". The first part of this is great but the second demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of what in the network domain can and can’t affect sound quality.

Thanks @Phil

No. I totally agree with you. I never expect a real diagnostic of an phantom item over the wire without anyone looking at it. I didn’t know if it may be a known sequence and you may say, we know it does that, or like you said here…never seen that before or… you have this setting wrong. It is almost a non issue and now that I’ve experienced it a couple times, I know where to look rather than thinking …now what. Appreciate your time.
