Hello all. I am glad to meet you ‘electronically’. I thought to myself, this would be a great place to ask for guidance. Live in Peralta Hills Cali. so greetings to the locals, and to all.
My situation is as follows;
Home Network - Spectrum Modem using Netgear Nighthawk router. Given the size of the house, which was custom built in 1978 with thick walls, heavy wood and proper plaster drywall throughout, wi-fi signal quality was not a slam-dunk. To address the problem of wi-fi signal strength, I utilize an Eero mesh solution, with the primary module connected via ethernet to the Nighthawk sending signal via wi-fi to an additional 5 Eero modules throughout the house and guesthouse. To clarify, the Spectrum modem is located at one side of the house, and at too long a distance to mess with ethernet connection to the audio system, which is located more in middle of house on a second floor room initially conceived as a large gaming/ billiard/ entertainment room, but which is repurposed as an audio/ cinema/ sitting room.
I am considering moving the Spectrum modem to that audio room to accommodate direct ethernet connection to the streamer. As I have it set up now, my hi-fi digital streaming source is the EverSolo DMP-A6 Gold Signature Edition, modest but surprisingly good for such a modest outlay. While the internal DAC is very good, I still like what the Auralic Vega (V1) does. The Eversolo DMP-A6 has phenomenal detail resolution, yet I perceive the Vega to flesh out the whole presentation with a bit more timbral substance. Not huge difference, but I think worth using it. The EverSolo feeds the Vega via USB. Vega feeds either integrated amps or preamp/ amp via older SPM Reference 1mtr interconnects. Amps connected via Nordost SPM Reference 5mtr length speaker cables drive the speakers.
My question to this august body;
As streamer is connected to internet via ethernet cable connected to an Eero module, which itself is receiving data via Wi-fi, and given that I control the streamer‘s setup/ input-output parameters, and select tracks using my EverSolo application, which has Qobuz as one of its streaming service options whic if i understand correctly, uses Airplay, does that mean the stream maxes out at 16/44? Do I gain a benefit of full signal resolution up to 192khz ( a good number of recordings on Qobuz are such hi-res files) by connecting the iPad directly to the EverSolo via USB? It would require a 5mtr USB to do it. It would also require an adapter to convert the Apple connector cable (older iPad) to new USB into the EverSolo.
Another question if I may;
would it benefit me at all to use a Wyred 4 Sound Recovery (reclocker) in the proposed scenario above? Would the EverSolo’s performance benefit from making sure the incoming signal is bit perfect?
Grateful for any suggestion /guidance. I know its very convoluted lol!
