Hi Rob I don't quite follow you.
What do you mean by "I think that needs disclosing"?
I am a user of Mqn for nearly 2 (?) years now and find it the best player around, and I regularly try all the new ones.
MQn is my 'touchstone' for measuring other players.
I know Dante DVS doesn't support KS but only ASIO, so I will have to use a different player.
Using Mqn with a LAN solution is pointless IMHO because it is optimised for the direct effect it has on SQ because of how it uses the KS-driver and CPU instruction set to feed the USB device with absolute minimum latency and minimum CPU activity.
In the case of Rednet Dante, I consider the Rednet device to be the actual renderer and not so much the PC anymore. Or at least I hope that it will turn out like that, that the PC is fully asynchronous to the Rednet proces with regard to building the audio signal backup again. And I hope it is electrically fully isolated from the Rednet though I think the network environment itself may still have some influence (hence my references to the isolators).
As I said I will probably try one to fullfil my curiosity.
Cheers
Sorry I thought you created the MQN palyer...apologies
I believe you are right the Dante card has it's own processor - so it looks like the IP processing is occurring away from the PC - a good thing. Why should DANTE not be isolated with a UTP cable? Like all Ethernet connections are, with unshielded cables. Are you speaking of using a STP shielded cable then the isolator?
