Ok reading the CA Rednet 3 thread, what a borefeast. The last post is so CA classic, 'I don't trust sight comparisons, yata, yata, yata'

What do you trust test bench measurements? Give me a break!

Last I check test bench equipment have no ears, only us humans do.

And this 'sighted' human sure hears a difference...now back to the micro-rendu infomercial...

To the chain as spdif reclocker or word clock input?  I believe you mean spdif reclocker - 2 in a row.
 
Now the Mutec MC-3+ USB has been compared to be as good as three non-USB versions daisy chained.  This is do to the upgraded clocking in the USB version.

 
Yes, as a daisy chained SPDIF re-clocker. I only have 2 of the non-USB version but even that, the SQ took another leap up.

Nice!  What digital cable are you using?

My slow 1.7ghz i7 won't keep up with the 24/192khz but the 24/96khz sounds great and sox doesn't have to do anything half the time (music are mostly 24/96).

Until I get that 3-4ghz i5/i7 it'll have to do. Turning the latency to 4ms doesn't work for me.

Your issues have nothing to do with the CPU. Music playback consumes less than 1% of any modern intel proc. Even the small 4-500mhz CPUs used in portable players can easily play 24/192 .. your i7 can play 20+ HD music streams without a blink.
You should look for issues somewhere else in your system. The usual bet is bad drivers and/or OS config.

I don't know.. maybe there's a setting I'm not getting somewhere. Strange is getting the same problem with a 3ghz i7 so I think you're correct.

I'm guessing it's a network setting of some sort since I've exhausted dante/rednet/dvs setting combinations.

Are their ethernet BIOS setting he could look for?

Speaking of when was the last BIOS update you have done? 
 
Is your 3ghz i7 a Haswell or Skylake chipset?  WIN 7 or 8.1 or 10?
 
Try a REDNET firmware rollback to 3.4 and see if that doesn't help.

Interesting...Thanks for the heads up.

  Is there possibly an ethernet configuration, that could be benefical for our Rednet's? I have the Realtek driver, and 150ms latency is greyed out... Someone played with the Ethernet-settings??? 
 
Thanx 

Nobody??

I don't see where there would be.
 
If it's working, the data is getting from point a to point b fully intact. There is no tweaking needed to change that fact if it's already getting there with no packet drops or errors. People have reported cable changes having little to no effect even when trying optical conversion. It's already isolated at both ends. Checksums ensure the integrity of the data. What else would you be expecting to happen with changing network settings?

Hi mhamel,
 
I would like to change the fact, that I cannot check the 150ms latency-setting ...
 
i would also remind, that audiophile optimizer AO mentionned a few tuning tips, perhaps they could also be benefical for our purpose...
 
Thank you

It seems the RN3 can do 150us and not the RNd16.  I found with some experimentation that the 150us SQ is best that 5ms the worst.  So this does make a difference.  But I was able to get 192k on all RN3 latency settings.
 
I'll post again:

 
I'm also getting close to 1ms with DVS set for 1ms (but showing 4ms in grey):

 

 

[rb2013]

Those setting are running the DAC60 which can only accept 96k - here are the screen shots on the APL DAC set for 192k:

Thank you rb2013, but I was thinking about the realtek/gigabyte ethernet driver setting in "device manager" or are these overgone completely by the Rednetsoftware? I don't think so but I am not an expert, only beginner
