It is possible to run a network cable up to 100m (more than three hundred feet) between the router and the renderer. The router becomes the hub between computer(s) and/or NAS device(s) on the network and the renderer (CP-800). In this set-up, the CP-800 is connected using a network cable, typically Cat 5, as described below. For those who already have a computer or a NAS device located in another room, the Ethernet port allows streaming music files over far greater distances via the home network. Above fifteen feet USB data transmission becomes unreliable or simply might not work. The maximum recommended USB cable length is about 3m or 10ft, so it might be impractical for certain installations. The USB interface requires that the computer be installed somewhat close to the preamp. The rear panel USB input of a CP-800 can give you state-of-the-art performance from a computer, but is subject to certain limitations in the physical setup. Part Two will focus on streaming audio using the Ethernet connection. Computer Audio Guide Part Two: Streaming via Ethernet SETUP GUIDE FOR APPLE AND WINDOWSĮTHERNET Part One of our Computer Audio Guide discussed computer audio and how to use the USB inputs of the CP-800.
