Hallo Eric,

If available, I would be interested in the power supply. However, I was unable to find the way to send you a PM.

Thank you in advance and all the best,
Bruno

Hallo zusammen!

Thanks for the warm welcome Eric and my apologies for this late reply. Thanks for your suggestion too regarding what to implement in my system!

I have been reading some „old“ threads here and I wonder if you guys ever sorted out that discussion about non CE marked power supplies. I know the little TP Link draws little power but that thread worried me a bit.

On the other hand, I just realized that I might have to do some changes to my system to fully take advantage of this little giant as of right now a Mac Mini acts as a server and then a SOtM sMS-200 Ultra Neo as the streamer, sitting both in the same room. I mention this because otherwise the Mac would be receiving the data from the TP Link to then pass it to the SOtM, which given the nature of computers and their noise would not be that ideal after all.

Just for clarity, this is my digital audio path:

ISP router —> Asus router —> TP Link switch —> NAS —> Powerline —> Netgear switch —> Mac Mini —> Netgear switch (with iFi iPower X)  —> SOtM sMS-200 Ultra Neo (with SOtM sPS-500 PSU) —> DAC

It all started much simpler, but around eighteen months ago I read about cheap consumer switches and how cascading them could help. I added them slowly and, although I have not removed them to test their effect, I remember the sound improving after each change so I just left them in place.

Lastly, do you think another round of ES Lan isolators would be possible? I got late to the party but it sure would be nice to have one! I know I am a new member over here, but if somebody would like to part with an isolator, I would be happy to take care of it.

Thank you, once again.

All the best,
Bruno

Hallo zusammen,

First of all, thank you for having me.

I have been reading the forum for the last couple of days, after discovering, by mere luck I think, the findings about the TP Link TL-WR902AC in another forum, and this is a somewhat short introduction of myself.

My name is Bruno and I live in Chile. I have been around music since I was a teenager and once the funds allowed it I started the quest to enjoy music through a dedicated system almost eleven years ago now. Nonetheless, only in 2023 the hobby really picked up for me when I completely changed my system and started to look for tubes and then cables to fine tune what, for me, is a nice piece of kit.

My system is completely digital and, perhaps even subconsciously, I have been thinking about how to improve it for a while now. It is not that I feel or think there is something wrong with it, it is just the burning question about what else could it give, without going bankrupt.

Long story short, a TP Link TL-WR802n is coming my way, however I still do not know how I will be powering it, because as much as I would like to go down the 3.3V route, I have zero electrical knowledge and I plan to keep being alive… 😀

I have been reading about linear PSU but I am not yet convinced by any and the battery power is something I keep stumbling upon. Besides that, the Drosselkabel picked up my interest so I will try to gather all its components to build one and fun with it.

At last, I like to think that it is not necessary to put a mortgage over the house to achieve a great sounding system and I that regard I think I cannot thank you enough folks for all your hard and tireless work and for sharing it with us, so we can learn and enjoy of our systems even more.

Thank you, once again and I hope to see you around.
