The nice thin of living in our highly populated Netherlands is that we do enjoy blistering fast Internet, 100 MBit/s download, up to 40 MBit/s upload.įirst set up the Ethernet and set up the Apple remote access software via Ethernet. No noise, no hiss no sharp highs due to jitter, advantage of the SGCD digital lense, which does away with jitter caused by the interface, no listening fatigue, just good sound, ALAC, Apple lossless, DSD DoP, no issues.Īlso all my WiFi access points are Apple devices, but the Ethernet is by dedicated different devices.

I use iTunes with bit perfect on my iMac, run a 5m Atlas Element SC USB cable to my Stellar Gain Cell DAC. My biggest concern, as mentioned, is losing comms with the Mini during this exercise. If I go ahead, once I have a hard-wire ethernet connection to the Mini, am I safe to use Screen Sharing to turn off WiFi on the Mini, without losing connection? (I certainly would think so.) Since I’d have to move the router within very close range of the Mini, would the proximity of the WiFi router transmission “cancel out” any benefit? Similarly, since the modem and router would have to be plugged into the same mains circuit (actually, into the back of a Shunyata Hydra Triton), would doing so only introduce more noise into the stereo system? Would this move even be worth the effort in terms of sonic improvements, or is it just a little tweak that might not matter very much? Losing comms with the Mini would be problematic, as hooking it back up to screen, key, and mouse would be an absolute drag.

(Right?)īefore I attempt to do this, I need to make sure that I don’t lose the Mini when I turn off WiFi via Screen Sharing.

My intent is to use the ethernet port on the router (Apple Time Capsule) to direct-connect to the Mac Mini, whereupon I should be able to turn off WiFi on the Mini. I’m thinking of moving my modem and router over toward the stereo stack. But, I’ve heard that running WiFi on the Mini can generate a good bit of noise in the system. After initial setup with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, I put it on the rack, and now communicate with it over WiFi via Screen Sharing. These will seem like very simple questions for most people here.įor years, my music server has been a headless Mac Mini. Just a warning: I’m about to demonstrate my fairly complete ignorance in networking matters.
