  • Very cool. However, I think I'm missing the usecase. It needs a separate LAN, so basically it's audio over CAT6?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm genuinely trying to understand.

    How does this compare to pipewire over ethernet? Is it realtime vs buffered?

  • If there were open source Dante that actually worked it would be very cool. Don’t know how much usage it would get since the hardware will always lock it in. But for small studios and research it might be cool. Interesting project nevertheless.

  • Looks neat. I'm curious, does using ethernet offer anything over USB in terms of obtaining low latency?

  • Far be it from me to discourage an H7 build, but I do question the codec choice. It's far from top of the line and it's not like the design is tight on space. TI offers much better (almost 20 dB SNR more on the ADC). Maybe a gen 2 could benefit from a better codec.

  • Really nice!!!

    I wonder if gigabit would make a difference on latency, faster packet transmissions. Could packets drop from 64 to 32b?

    4ms is pretty good but I feel like sub 2ms would be nicer.

  • How does the receive side recover the transmit side's sample clock? There is a BNC for clock sharing between "multiple units", but I'm not sure if that's used / required between transmit and receive.

    Or is there no such synchronization, in which case there would be long-term drift?

  • Hi, I'm Alex, I made ETH-68. I didn't create the post here on HN but I will answer some of the questions that have come up in the comments
