There actually are two things of importance for audio networks.

1. Noise

2. Clock synchronisation

Unfortunately those two are biting each other. Noise can be prevented by using high grade power supplies and or noise can be canceled by ethernet filters.

When there’s almost no noise at the ethernet signal the blockwave will stabilize and push other devices with its stable signal. Other devices will slowly follow the rhythm of this stabilized stream. This means the clock of the audio device will synchronize (in a certain amount) as well to this stable signal, but the audioclock should not run at 25Mhz, it should run at 24.756Mhz. When the audioclock is out of phase the sound will darken.

The winding patrons of cablechokes can cancel noise and it can cause or prevent clock synchronisation. The cleaner the signal the more important it is not to create induction at the signal. Induction will cause more explosive pulsations which will cause clock synchronisation.

So the real deal is to create a noise free blockwave, but also preventing the network clocksignal to cause trouble.

What I have done Yesterday with the Ultra clock switch was really incredible. But I must switch off this clock each time after listening. This will prevent the clock to stabilize. Really the first few minutes are on a level that you can’t even imaging even when you have heard it 🙂
