Given that the DAC/ADC also have some inherent latency, I'm guessing you'd get somewhere around 3ms from analog input to output.

"Guaranteed latency" is one of the selling points of Dante for big professional workflows. Most higher end Dante products can handshake at 500μs or even 250μs, using standard gigabit switches. They do this by testing the line with PTP first to establish clock, so in this case the remaining 600μs would be buffer. The units can be configured to handshake at 1ms, 2ms, or 5ms. These models have 10/100 ethernet ports, meaning through a single switch there's probably about 400μs between them. Dante stuff works by "handshaking" at a set latency every time. The primary purpose of these is to integrate with other Dante products, but you can configure them to send directly to each other. are welcome.Ĭlick to expand.Forgive me for replying to so many posts on here hah. You have the data to decide otherwise.Īs always, questions, comments, recommendations, etc. Overall, I like to recommend the Dante AVIO modules but based on pure performance, I can't. In a pro, sound enforcement situation, the robustness should make them a good fit as long as you realize the performance degradation over just running an analog connection to a good ADC. You will only make things worse, not better. Don't even think about using them on your JBL SDP-55 processor hoping to get better performance than internal DACs. We are short of that so I am disappointed in that regard. Still, I like to see at least clean, 16 bit performance out of them. In understand these are entry level modules from Dante.

The software can be a bit difficult to use but once you figure it out, you can get things done. I really like the plug-and-play aspects of these modules for streaming audio over ethernet. So you can only lower the performance, not better it than what I have shown. Per above introduction, I configured the output module for 44.1 and ran our dashboard: You have to reconfigure the module to play other sample rates which are supported up to 96 kHz. You set the sample rate and that is the only rate that the module works at. Note that there is no dynamic sample rate switching. The ADC/DAC modules are not perfect so let's measure them independently and then together. And of course with no digital loss in the interconnect.

Alternatively the modules can be configured to talk to each other without a PC in the middle allow you to extend balanced audio over Ethernet to wherever that interface goes. They also have a neat Dante Virtual Soundcard which creates either an ASIO or WDM interface (in Windows) to treat the modules as if they are hardwired to your computer.
There is software you need to download to configure them (Dante Controller). The owner sent me an HP PoE switch which I used for testing. Power is provided over Ethernet (PoE) so there are no adapters or dongles to worry about.
