Crestron Expands Audio-over-IP Home Options with Four New DM NAX Edge Devices

Crestron Electronics announced four new Crestron DM NAX Audio Edge Devices to provide seamless interoperability and performance between audio sources for any AV-over-IP system. Unveiled during the last day of ISE 2024, not to obscure the many other announcements for the show from the global leader in home automation, the four new solutions act as audio-over-IP entry points for streaming, Bluetooth, microphones or any analog audio source, such as turntable.

In this article for audioxpress, Ed Simon writes: "There seems to be controversy over what testing means in audio. Measuring a difference does not mean you can hear it. On the other hand, if my ears tell me there is a difference between two audio chains and I cannot measure it, that does not mean it is not there. Probably, I'm just using the wrong method to determine audio differences." And after trying to measure all sorts of things to compare which ones sounded fine - or not - he decided the next step would be to build a dedicated more sensitive measurement.
