Roon 1.8 sound quality change?

[danny (Danny Dulai)]

@Speed_Racer

If “bits are bits” which you have said is true…why would directly connecting a DAC vis USB to a computer running Roon be any different in sound quality than the Roon Core/Roon Endpoint model?

I quoted this at you recently. Please read it this time, or if you have, and still have questions, feel free to ask me.

@Adam_Woodbridge @AE67 @garym and others: Before I start, I need to say that while I understand what the opposing argument is, I am not endorsing the impact of these comments on sound quality. The claim here is not that the digital bits on the cable (via the Ethernet frames -> IP frames -> TCP packets) are being altered. The claim, especially in regards to ground loops, is that the ethernet cable is connecting the ground of power going into the switch and the ground of the power going into the…

That is not at all what I am implying… When a digital audio stream is altered it can happen a few ways: bits are changed and/or lost and caught by error correction techniques causing a retransmit bits are changed and/or lost and not caught by error correction techniques so they are allowed to be played In the case of #1, if the errors are caught, a retransmit can be requested and if the retransmitted data arrives fast enough that the buffer is not emptied, then the resultant stream is still …
