My apartment is currently being renovated and remodeled so I have a chance to setup a dedicated mains and network for audio.
In my previous house I had a dedicated mains and it made a difference, so I’m going to have it done here, too. Any special recommendations? I mean, cable sections, connections and so on?
Setting up a network maybe more complicated. I have a modem router 30 m far from the room where I’m going to install the core of my network. I was going to use two different Ethernet cables from the modem/router and use two different switches: one for computer network and another for audio streaming (I have three systems connected to the network).
Some suggest the use of optic fibre at some point in the audio network, so that it can be decoupled from the computer network, and can be kept clean from the “digital noise” that affects the metal network.
My source now is only Roon with Qobuz, Tidal and music files stored on a nas.
Any ideas about doing it right? I think at this point I have a wide choice since everything will be rebuilt from scratch. As long as it is financially reasonable
Thanks
