    Setting up Gigabit Intranet

    Yes it's actually for automated data transfers happening between my main workstation and the server, while possible simultaneous streaming/data transfer happening between the server and HTPC. Trying to minimize any buffering/hiccups and keep data transfers at a decent speed. I figure it's a...

    Setting up Gigabit Intranet

    Are you saying I need to upgrade my router to gigabit so that my internal devices & traffic work at gigabit speeds? This seems opposite of what everyone else has posted. Unless I'm missing something...

    Is a Roku more functional than an HTPC?

    Will the Roku pass-through dts-ma or true-hd soundtracks from an mkv container to a a/v receiver to decode? That's probably the biggest reason I'm sticking with my HTPC vs the ease of something like a Roku?

    Setting up Gigabit Intranet

    Thanks for all the input everyone, much appreciated! Vengance_01 - My Internet speed is less than the cap of the router so I don't believe I'm really bottle-necking it. I agree that an upgrade at some point is due but my router has a Tomato firmware with all the settings I've put in over the...

    Setting up Gigabit Intranet

    I guess my concern would be how would the switches know which device to send data to/from. They don't need to go up to the router level to determine the device and then back down? (Thus dropping speeds to 100)

    Setting up Gigabit Intranet

    Would I need a managed switch as my "gigabit switch 1" or is that not really necessary?

    Setting up Gigabit Intranet

    Hey all. Quick networking question. I am wondering how to set up gigabit network speeds on the house network when I have a 10/100 Buffalo tomato-firmware router. On the 1st floor of the house I have an 8-port gigabit unmanaged switch. If I connect that switch into another gigabit switch for...

    Next advice on WHS v1 Upgrade path

    Wanted to bump this thread: I have drives dropping from the pool and now it looks like either the AOC-SASLP-MV8 card or expander are starting to crap out too. So my question is, considering I need a new server to start migrating this data over. Would it be better to go the DIY route or maybe a...

    Next advice on WHS v1 Upgrade path

    So it seems no matter what OS route I go, I will need to build a 2nd rig to help with the data transfer from my old WHS v1 server. Is that right?

    Next advice on WHS v1 Upgrade path

    If I opted to go the Unraid route, can I still keep all the data on my current WHS? I did some searching online but couldn't really find any info on going from WHS to Unraid except for one that erased all drives and I'm not trying to do that.

    Next advice on WHS v1 Upgrade path

    Hey all. I have been using my WHS v1 + DAS setup for about 4-5 years with good success. Pretty much I just need it to store files & computer back-ups. I have certain folders (movies, pictures, documents) duplicated. My issue is, running on WHS v1, I'm stuck with 2TB drives and I would like to...

    USB DAC for HTPC

    Douglaster - Aren't the 990 DT and HE-400 pretty close in price? $350 vs $400? I'd love to find a way to demo both but I doubt that'll be possible. Spaceman - Are you saying that if the weight isn't a deal breaker for me, the HE-400 would be the best, in your opinion? Even considering the...

    USB DAC for HTPC

    Thanks for the info DouglasteR. I couldn't find the specs but I got to think your Pioneer Elite A/V is a hell of a lot beefier than my Denon but I guess the best guess is like spaceman said and just try it out. Do either of you have experience with both the HE-400 and DT 900, specifically for...

    USB DAC for HTPC

    Well the headphones I'm looking at purchasing (don't own yet), are: Beyerdynamic DT 990 (600 Ohm) Ultrasone Pro 2900 Hifiman HE-400 The receiver is a Denon 2310 and I'm still waiting for tech support to get back to me with headphone jack impedance and output since it's not in the manual. I...

    USB DAC for HTPC

    Yes it does but from what I've read (I'm just getting into this hi-fi headphone world), the outputs on most receivers aren't powerful enough to really fill out/drive higher end headphones. Sorry, guess I should have thrown that in there.
