Need help setting up and configuring an optimal network for your audio streamer? Alpha Audio can help!
You are looking for a company or person who can optimize your home network. A company that can unburden you in this complex world of music services, data networks and audio hardware. The world of data packets, ip addresses, switches, Ethernet cables, wifi, routers, modems and custom power supplies. A specialized company you can trust because hardware and software come together and the job requires knowledge in both areas. Alpha Audio is that company.
The heart!
A decent music streamer is now the heart of many a hi-fi system. This audio streamer is connected to the home network which in turn connects to the Internet to bring in the music data.
Not everyone is equally adept at setting up a solid network that also provides an optimal environment for a high-quality hi-fi system. We can help with that!
Knowledge and skills
Connecting an audio streamer sounds like plug and play. And in many cases it is: you can be playing music within five minutes in many cases. So why invest in an optimal audio network anyway? It’s 1’s and 0’s, right? Yes… and no…
Alpha Audio has been researching the influence of the network on playback quality for years. We dare to say that we are the only platform that really does in-depth research into what really matters when it comes to audible influence on music reproduction. And sad but true: all our research and listening tests show that the network has a (significant) influence on the playback quality.
The good thing is: because of these studies, we know which products are and are not suitable for decent music reproduction. And we also know where you can best apply them. So we can help you with real knowledge.
Alpha Network Service
We have years of training in the field of network architecture and know better than anyone how to set up a network for optimal music reproduction.
For example, as standard we recommend dividing the network into a ‘normal’ network and a special network for audio playback. This is to keep the data stream stable and constant using priorities. These may be subtle differences, but every little bit helps!
