I am running these at home on a laptop hooked up to a
CEC DX71 DAC as music server. This is a professional
audio recording unit and should suit your requirements.
Also because it has an RJ45 connector from PCMCIA card
to the break out box I have used normal CAT5 to extend
the 1m lead length to 8m so it can be run remotely.
Interesting.
Why didn't they make it firewire though ?
Reasonble question, but I suspect that the answer goes
something like this:
Firewire cable costs more and is less common than CAT-5.
It probably is way overkill in terms of protocol
complexity for the application.
It is overkill for audio.
Can you run this box from an ordinary network connection ?
You mean, a 100BTX LAN?
Dunno, but for applications like this, the answer is usually no.
Typically, they are just using the CAT-5 cable, not any of the standard
protocols.
