AUDIO over IP - REDNET 3 & 16 Review. AES67 Sets A New Standard for Computer Audio

Understood Julian, but my AES cable is balanced XLR and I don't see that output on Rednet 3, but rather the 25 pin Dsub connector. Presumably then I need yet another adapter to use my XLR cable and I'd much rather go straight in. I'm just looking for a high quality interface with as few boxes/adapters/cables as possible to go from PC to balanced AES with XLR connector into DAC.

I would ask JohnJen on the DIY cookbook thread here of Rednet mods. He made such a cable himself.

Anyone can tell where I can change the bit rate on rednet3 manually as I don't have the control software for rednet got the rednet as used

Dante Controller -> Device Config
 
There are screen shots of it in this thread, just try searching...
 
Not sure what software you're using to play music, but you might have to set it there as well.

Thanks will check but doing so shouldn't the front of rednet also change so if I select 44.1 and then later select 192 shouldn't the Lee should change in front of rednet 3

Yes, it should change (x2 or x4 - going by memory as I don't have my D16 right now).
 
If it doesn't you probably need to do 'reset' from the same screen (or manually reset - off/on button).

This - but also what astro said about "stupid USB" (= much exasperation with it in my own experience and a fundamental distaste partly arising out of sycophancy at CA) is why I have a D16 and stick with it. The PC does make a difference as per this thread - even the choice of network adapter (my mobo has 2 onboard). Mojo = goose bumps is what I'm after, and I'm not jumping ship any time soon.

Thanks. So it sounds like you go:
PC > ethernet cable > D16 > AES cable XLR > DAC
And this works well does it?

  Incidentally, and at the risk of provoking astro, Peter Qvortrup argued in private comms to me that his AN transports would trounce any "streamer".
Well - I explained that AOIP isn't "streaming", at least not as he meant it.
It would take a transport-and-a-half is my estimation.

Hey, you spoke to Peter? Yes, he does say that a lot. I get his angle and top respect to him, he has designed good power supplies and worked the SPDIF output to mate perfectly with his DACs. BUT they are not cheap, and IMO the ship has sailed on a CDP. I used to own a CEC 51 belt drive which cost me 3.5K and was supposed to be very good. I was good, but I beat it soon after with my Mac Mini and A+ and tweaks to it. And have since beaten that with the Rednet. And, of course, we have HD and Tidal with MQA as well as local. So spinning discs is gone for me now. I sold most of mine on Music Magpie for peanuts. I still buy the odd CD, ripp it with XLD and sell it, crazy and wasteful, but until Amazon do AIFF downloads, no choice. 
 
Having files on a local server, is sort of a streamer, or at least a music server with direct connection to a DAC. I think for folk who have real world budgets (not fantasy amounts) the Rednet is a great solution to an age old problem, getting top audio out of the consumer PC or Mac. We can't all afford a 10K optimised music server, and I would say you can get to that level much cheaper by DIY.
 
I am doing the PS upgrade in a week to my Rednet 3. Cost me 120 USD and according to JJ is yet another leap up in sound. Now that is what I call a bargain!

My pride and joy is a pair of Snell Type A III. I had the woofers refoamed years ago. Last year I got the mids done and carried out other maintenance myself - without replacing the cloth. That is what I chatted about with PQ.
 
I loathe Apple and all commercial environments. I still value records (in fact I sell online) and my digital playback is for ripped CDs (like records I have thousands).
 
Good luck with the PS project. I may do my D16 if only I had the time - and I am grateful to the pioneers.

Help Needed.....

I can see the Rednet3 , i can change the bit rate but seems like there is no green speaker connected to my pc.....all 8 states not connected sign....any idea how to make it green...


as per dante it says :An error has occurred - for example, there is insufficient bandwidth to establish the subscription:

RN3 and PC are directly connected and i can see RN3 has 169 ip address ...
