Title: best connection PC to DAC Post by: wimck on May 09, 2010, 12:47:23 pm In my situation there's no possibility to place my audiopc near the DAC so the distance is about 8 mtr (24 ft).
Now I am using a (too ?) long Canare coax cable. Thinking about other, hopefully better, solutions I found a RCA connector. Then I can plugin the Hiface directly to the DAC so I don't need any coax. But then I have to find the best possible USB to USB connection for 8 mtr. One possibility is 2 USB active (?) repeater cables from 5 Mtr. Another way could be USB/UTP -> 8 mtr UTP6 -> UTP/USB. please help me with suggestions, other ideas or whatever!! (I know BNC connection would be better but I already have the RCA Hiface and my DAC doesn't have BNC) Title: Re: best connection PC to DAC Post by: PeterSt on May 09, 2010, 01:28:39 pm Hi Wim,
I used 3 USB (extension, 1 euro) cables, and had 12 meters as a result. This just worked fine with the HiFace. The only thing you have to watch for is dropouts, and the knowledge of *if* they are happening, this will be the result of too many resends because of the too poor (data !) connection. Your 8 meters of coax certainly is not the best. At all ... Peter |
