I don’t own one, but here are the specs:

I am no network guru but my understanding is that audio over IP is only possible using an IP audio codec (AoE) that uses audio compression algorithms to send high fidelity audio over wired IP networks. So it maybe that is the issue, or the use of standard Ethernet hubs and switches that other data passes through maybe an issue?

Also there is a Facebook group “Mytek Digital Users Group” maybe ask to join that?

I was under the impression that since these products come under network streamer and are Roon ready, they should be able to handle the digital audio via Ethernet/WiFi. If that is not the case and these devices need a USB/SPDIF etc as input for MQA, DSD 512 etc then I need to start fresh. Currently, I have an iFi Pro iDSD which is directly connected to N+ via USB.

Lumin T2 does not need this. Ethernet to T2 (note, Lumin does not do WiFi), XLR from T2 to Hegel H190. Native 384PCM and DSD512.

I have the Buchardt A500. I guess i don’t need an amplifier. I have shortlisted the T2 & RS-150 from Rosehifi.

These are officially not Roon Ready yet…but it is coming we are led to believe - but I guess you have been here before and maybe with the A500 been hit twice

There’s no need to compress audio on Gigabit Ethernet: a 6 channel DSD512 stream would be about 250 Mbps uncompressed. Not a problem with decent networking hardware, at least wired. Doing that sustained for an hour on WiFi would be a pretty good trick.
Many, but not all, DACs with built-in streaming functionality (i.e., come with Ethernet and/or WiFi) share DSD64 and 192/24 PCM limits on their network interface, but can support higher data rates on other interfaces, most commonly USB. I might conjecture that if you opened said DACs up there would be a decent chance of finding the same or very similar streaming modules from one or a small number of OEMs.

@ddean I agree with you… All the research I’m doing tells USB has higher sampling rate, and on Ethernet it is 24/192… Looks like, T2 & RS-150 supports high sampling rate on their ethernet. I need to confirm this piece of information.
This is increasingly untrue. The direction of travel is ethernet rather than USB, and that is where the the sound quality gains are happening.

Very exotic requirements. You are likely better with separates. An ‘all-in-one’ that supports all of your requirements is likely very expensive or maybe compromised is one or more areas. I assume your library contains enough extreme-hires files to make an investment like this prudent.

That’s the limitation of the common OEM network boards used by a number of audio manufacturers.
We do our own design so we’re not limited by it.

There’s also the DMS-600 ($6995) with a more advanced DAC chip. I have one, and it’s beautiful.

@James_Morrison, AKM chipset, my preferred. What is the maximum sampling rate over ethernet with DMS-600?
Here’s the information on Cary’s very informative Web site: NETWORK, USB, SD CARD PLAYBACK
| Playback Format Supply | .dsf, .dff (DSD64, 128, 256, 512), .aif, .aiff, .alac, .flac, .m4a, .mp4, .wav, .ape, .mp3, .aac, .wma, .ogg, .asf |
|---|---|
| Frequency Range | 2 Hz – 125 kHz |
| Signal System | 16, 20, 24, & 32 bit PCM and 1 bit DSD |
| Sampling Frequency | 44.1 kHz to 384 kHz PCM and 2.822MHz – 22.5792 MHz DSD |

I have no idea. Maybe you could contact the Cary people and ask them.

You could consider separates. The Lumin U1 transport will do what you want, then add a DAC. The Holo Audio Spring 2 (for example) will keep you in your price range. Separates will do a better job keeping you out of the Digital obsolescence situation. I’m looking into the MSB Discreet DAC too.

That is a wonderful solution. The N+ can be placed elsewhere and doesn’t have to be in the vicinity of the DAC anymore. Thank you so very much. I’m a newbie in this wonderful world of high-end music. So, I keep asking noob questions in the forum, sorry about it.

Hi @John_Kaster , Do we need a U1 if I go for MSB DAC, the website says the MSB renderer can handle PCM 32/768, MQA & 4X DSD… That is everything I want…
