DIretta Protocol in RS130

[ROSEHAN]

Dear HiFi Rose users

We are not able to accommodate every additional feature request from users.
However, I will forward this request to the software team.
They will review it, and if they determine that the feature is necessary or feasible, they may consider adding it.

From my experience of using Diretta, this is one of the best ways to get a very high resolution sound through the network

You really should try painting some pink and bight-green dots on your device. You’d be amazed how much it improves the sound, compared with Dumbetta!

I get it. The Diretta protocol is a sham, like MQA. They’re trying to manipulate people into buying new devices again. And most people won’t hear this promised nirvana anyway.

The best filter for network interference is wireless streaming of data from the 5G network to the recipient’s WiFi host. The streamer is connected via WiFi, and all these digital interference transmission problems are shot into space.

Diretta is even more of a scam. MQA at least does something (mostly useless, but bits are different, and some different filters are applied). Diretta just outright does not do anything that could affect anything in any way. And developer’s “explanation” of how it works is just a load of self-contradictory meaningful nonsense.

There are a couple of interesting threads on Roon’s forums about it.

Information from the Telepolis portal:
The moderator of the diyAudio forum, signing as Pano, prepared a blind test in which four 30-second versions of the same fragment were made available for listening: the original file, a recording passed through 180 cm of professional copper cable, through 20 cm of wet mud (combined with 120 cm of copper), and through a 13 cm banana (also made of 120 cm of copper). Respondents were asked to determine how the sound signal was conducted in a given recording. The results of the blind test are: The answers were very inaccurate—of the 43 entries, only 6 were correct, giving a hit rate of about 14%. Statistical analysis of the results indicated that such a result could have occurred by chance with a probability of a few percent. In other words, the bananas and the mud sounded almost the same as the copper cable.
– Now, supporters of cables with cosmic dust on their veins, you can give your surplus money to your family.

Do Cables Actually Matter? Blind Test Results

Joke of the day for audiophiles: Audiophiles failed to distinguish between a signal sent through a copper cable and one routed through… a banana and wet dirt. The experiment was conducted on the diyAudio forum. Participants were played the same track, each time routed through different “conductors”: • A professional audio cable • 20 cm of liquid mud • A 13 cm banana • The original CD recording The result was brutal: only 6 out of 43 participants answered correctly. That’s basically the le…

Alas, they won’t. They’ll just buy audiophile “legs” for their gear instead…
