Its improvements in data transfer speed and cabling have prompted many enterprises to replace Fast Ethernet with Gigabit Ethernet for wired local networks. Gigabit Ethernet connects computers and servers in local networks. Gigabit Ethernet is defined in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ( IEEE) 802.3 standard and is currently being used as the backbone in many enterprise networks. Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), a transmission technology based on the Ethernet frame format and protocol used in local area networks (LANs), provides a data rate of 1 billion bits per second, or 1 gigabit (Gb). I also have a low powered J1900 Celeron PC which connects to my fiber network via Intel x520, and runs Windows 10/XXHE which drives my NOS1a. The ClearFog is powered by an “ultra el-cheapo” LPS HQPlayer streams to an NAA which is the ClearFog (or an RPi3 for Wi-Fi) No my iPhone controls Roon which itself uses HQPlayer fir upsampling/output. Yes?īut then I still end up with a PC/i2s connected to the DAC/i2s, which makes the optical section pretty pointless? (as I am already connecting the PC to the DAC via i2s). one as a source/RJ45 out > connected to the catalyst switch/RJ45 in > SFP output > then FSP cable to > x520 NIC (in a 2nd PC) > i2s PCIe card output (in a 2nd.

Please forgive me, I am just trying to picture this in my mind. Yes this is intended for network streaming. ![]() ![]() You need 2 PCI-e slots on your PC for two cards. I use Roon on my iPhone to control what is sent to HQPlayer which streams /NAA to my ClearFog. No, the Intel x520 NIC is instead of the ClearFog, or anywhere you want to connect a PC via fiberoptic Ethernet. you communicate with the PC through the monitor! (+keyboard/mouse), you wouldn't be able to see what is going on?ģ) "The only connection which should be focussed on would be the connection going to the DAC."Ĥ) If I use the Intel X520-DA2 PCIe card, (in the PC?), what happens to my PF i2s PCIe card (to DAC)? Ummm? So, how would you view what is on the monitor if the PC & monitor are in a different room i.e. Bearing this in mind then some people say they put the PC in a completely seperate room from the Hi-Fi!. Doesn't matter.ġ) So, the Intel X520-DA2 is in place of the " Ethernet switch that has at least 1 SFP port"? ~ yes?Ģ) SFP designed for long distance professional communications. ![]() From NAS to switch, or PC to switch, use whatever you wish. The only connection which should be focussed on would be the connection going to the DAC. My only comment is that when we started doing this, there wasn't the same ease of getting a direct SFP connection to the device but now SFP connections and prices are much more reasonable (you can always get an Intel x520 NIC as well). Fiberoptic is good solid engineering with standards that require a certain degree of performance, in short its professional. ![]() on this forum people are spending thousands of dollars for USB cables and "audiophile" ethernet cables, as well as "audiophile" ethernet switches that don't even have SFP connections. Nowadays for a few dollars you can get a state of the art fiberoptic patch cable. The prices for fiberoptic have become very reasonable recently. You can do many things, copper Ethernet, Wifi or optical. Quote jabbr: "with fibre optic network you don't need to worry about SMPS on your PC". "OK - what you need to build a fibre optic isolation network is." OR at least links/URL's? ~ CAN'T WAIT! EXCITED!! However, I have no knowledge of fibre optic networks, so I am kinda hoping that members will not leave me high and dry? It starts with: I am prepared to ditch my current build (& current LPSU plans). I am definitely interested in building an isolated fibre optic front end system even though "PeterSt" doesn't seem to agree with that process? If there is a genuine noise isolation method, I want to know about it now! i.e. Hang on a minute! My PC has an optical output, and my DAC has an optical input, which I can connect with an optical cable! Is that not an isolating fibre optic ethernet network?
