Hello. Your last post leads me to believe the 802 is not even worth pursuing if it can’t be converted to 3.3v. Could you explain what improves by converting a 902 to 3.3v? I’m starting to hear good things about the 3602. I wonder if anyone here has compared it to the 902?
Wow, you got the 802 up and running quick! A lot of people are saying it needs to burn in so don’t rule it out yet! Ok, here are my questions:
1: You mentioned modifying the internal power supply of the 902… Were you only referring to converting it to 3.3v and eliminating the BS terminations or is there more to do?
2: I understand Ian Canada is amazing but I would prefer an enclosed linear power supply for the 902…. What brand/model do you recommend?
3: Should all power and ethernet cables in the entire system be as short as possible even if they utilize ferrites and/or chokes?
4: I’ve heard 2.4g is preferred over 5g in the 902…. Do you agree and is 2.4g for sure enough? (I live alone with very little wifi usage).
5: Will I be able to use the wifi from the router (for my laptop) to control the streamer if the streamer is connected in this way:
a: Router via ethernet to a 902 AP
b: 902 AP via wifi to client 902
c: Client 902 via ethernet to streamer.
6: Assuming the above listed format, should the 902 AP be very close to the router so it has a short ethernet cable, or further away for any reason?
7: Is there a way to edit our posts after sending them in case we later find a typo? lol.
Hello Eric,
Is there a way to contact you privately with questions? I would also like to know if you accept donations as your time and work are very appreciated. I have many more questions but not all are directly related to the 902 so I’m not sure where to post them.
Hi Eric,
As per your request, these are the devices in my system:
Modem/router combined (provided by ISP)
d-link switch (soon to be replaced by Netgear GS108 most likely)
Eversolo T8 streaming transport
Trinnov Altitude 16
3 Theory Audio amplifiers
Apple TV
TV (soon to be replaced by projector)
Side note: I am seriously considering using the an 802 in place of a 902 but I would very much like your opinion on that.
Based on your writings and input from others, I gather the best way to use either a 902 or an 802 is:
Modem/router > ethernet cable > 902 AP (battery powered) > wifi > Client 902 (battery powered) > Short ethernet cable > Streamer > digital coax > DAC
I assume, adding the switch before the client 902 and feeding the streamer from that switch is not a good idea vs setting it up the way I listed above? There are many ways to feed ethernet to the other devices… All of which need an internet connection… But I would like your opinion on the best way. I realize it may or may not warrant the use of yet another 902… I wonder if it’s possible to modify a 902 to have two outputs?… One for the switch and one for the streamer.
thank you for any advice you’re able to provide!
Hello. I am very interested in the mods you are willing to do for a few members. Are you in the USA? Side note: I am likely interested in doing this with two 802’s instead of 902’s if you’re willing. I’m not certain I am receiving e-mail notifications when a message is posted here so if you don’t mind emailing me directly, that would be great. My email is: lineardesign@yahoo.com
Thank you, Brandon
