I read about the Pink Foun now to understand. Those are the type of streamers that you can´t influence very much because they have too much going on in them selves, in my opinion. It is like a computer with a lot of gadgets to achieve a low noise floor with a lot of unnecessary trickery, in my opinion.

They have a certain noise floor, that is actually quite high, but then they solve that the last bit into the DAC step. That last step you can´t really influence much since it has its "fixed" lowest noise floor, which is higher than what you aim for.

If you instead use a much simpler streamer, that doesn´t do a lot of trickery in itself but just has great silent components. Then I believe such a streamer has even higher potential to take care of an amazingly low incoming noise floor and forward it on to the DAC.

I can almost promise you that LESS IS MORE in the digital domain. It is all about obsessing about noise and every unnecessary electronic component is better left out. I do understand that WiFi is a no-no for you but i really think that the alternative is that you always is going to have unnecessary heavy computing in your connected signal path, which is not ideal and very hard to completely clean up and stabilize.

I have built the Ferrite box and separated the RX and TX on their own core. This cause triple the effect of the cable solution.

Wow, you are the man!

Thanks, Tobias 🙂
