General - (fb2k) / Re: FB2K playing on LAN port - is it possible???
Last post by eEzZ -If your cable is correctly constructed so that the twisted pairs are what they should be (see for example here) the cable would definitely not be a problem. Also your router seems to have gigabit ethernet ports and I don't see any complaints about its switch chipset not being able to do simple switching fast enough.For sure everything is good with cable, I'm making ethernet cables since 1991 and have made thousand of 'em, and of course it was checked with network tester. Moreover new short shielded factory patch cord gave almost the same result (a bit better - ROON began to playback, if this can be named this way). As well as everything is good with router, but it looks like it's some way incompatible with DAC, or should be configured for streeming, but every audiophil knows that for Hi-Fi streeming should be used special switches and routers, for example something like Silent Angel Bonn N8, also if You read FAQ from HiFiMAN, You will know what attention they pay to the network cables quality.
If you have two computers you can easily measure the transmission speed of the cable and the router's switch. Run iperf3 server on one machine and plug another computer to the router with this cable and run iperf3 client there. The client can measure transmission speed both ways. With gigabit ethernet you should get 900+ Mbps transfer speeds. That is definitely enough to play <10 Mbps audio streams without stuttering.
The foo_out_upnp screenshot troubles me. If even querying the supported formats fails, it sounds like the device has very loose definition of standard compliance.Don't worry - this device properties page was opened when device was offline already, so I think everything was good there.
Anyways thank You so much for Your help and support, and be sure now I'll found a way to make it working, and will post a final result here, at least now I know which direction to dig in
