Thanks for sharing.

The reason we can´t use the WiFi reciever in our equipment is that we don´t want an active antenna in our HiFi equipment and have data processing going on to convert that WiFi signal = noise.

By separating the WiFi outside of our HiFi equipment into a device that can output a clean signal it is then enough to clean up that signal with the ferrit cores.

The reason the ferrit cores are not working in other places, i believe, is that you then add electronics (noise) after them. The ferrit core need to sit right before the streamer since the output from that cable is really clean.

Also in the test of Hans Beekhuizen with the help of Alpha audio the Wavecrest showed a lower phase noise. This supports the above theorie as well Crystal are less floating around. Which means more stability at a certain frequency.

Yes, but than it still should not become as worse as without ferrite cores at all. The ferrite core in the last section should still do that same trick (when it was about noise. It also should be audible at once and not 24 hours later). But as I mentioned the sound was dark after 24 hours. Just like it was without the cores

I know this will probably not mean much for you, since people say a lot about different things, but i have to share my honest thought on your write up.

For me, that goes against everything i know about digital. I know people have probably said this 100 times to you but digital is always perfect. What arrives to your dac is always perfect. Either it arrives 100% perfect or it doesn´t arrive at all. If it doesn´t then you get stutter, or it doesn´t work at all.

The only thing that matter is the performance of the DAC, its clock and the conversion process. That is where it has to be perfect conditions for that processing to run perfect at the limit of what the DAC is capable of to output its best analogue signal. What goes on before that is actually irrelevant.

Noise does however degrade the dac/clock performance, even crazy low amount of noise, so that it can´t convert the signal as well as it is capable of. We need to stop that noise which people has tried for many years even if looking for other root issues as well.

Now, i am not saying that this will maybe change your mind, since people are always saying a lot of things 🙂 . But this is my honest opinion at least.

True, i can´t explain if it gets worse if the ferrit cores are early in the signal chain.
