Also, "So a decent switch will do a lot of work to correct errors, but it has no analogue sound circuit on board, that is why it doesn’t matter how much the switch suffers from retries and all kind of errors and interferences. In the end the switch nicely delivers the data to our music system and we have to make sure this last part is error free. We don’t want to use error correction in audio equipment after all."
- davidgerard 10y ago(OP here) A sysadmin in finance on my facebook suggested we could start selling audiophools the routers they use for high-frequency trading, which he found a similarly sensible field. (I found this somewhat disconcerting news.) Or perhaps the super-low-lag cards they sell to obsessive gamers.
- wolfgang42 10y agoI've never heard the word 'audiophools' before--I like it :) It's never occurred to me that HF trading would have special routers, but I suppose that makes sense. This sounds like an excellent business model--or, better yet, sell custom routers with special 'audio quality algorithms' built in. I'm sure there's some manufacturer in China that would be willing to white-label a box with a few QOS setting tweaks, which can then be sold at an excellent markup. I will leave this as an exercise for someone with a better straight face than I.
