I ask because it's a very slow broadband connection (a BT junction nearby needs re-wiring but it's underground and i'm guessing a proper fix is much more expensive than the quick bodge fixes they do ). so any little speed increase is a bonus. My max download speed is approx. 450 KBS.

Sometimes audio is played with sony ear buds from streaming sites.
If the cable is damaged, it could be inducing jitter (unlikely).

Did you find a solution that works ?
NVA amps, speakers, interconnects & speaker cables produce the music.

Chatted with a local electronics guy and it’s possible but he is busy for such a small job- I’m gonna do it myself when I get an optical rx
