if you are calling my 20+ years of enterprise networking experience is lack of experience, what experience do you have?
nothing to do with audio. Nobody is questioning your network skills. You are likely good at it 😉
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
I'm using a D-Link switch into a EtherRegen (with an AfterDark PSU & Clock) via a Signature Ethernet Cable. Coming out of the EtherRegen I use a basic fiber optic cable into my streamer. (All connects/cables not mentioned are upgraded.)
Simply put, should I upgrade the switch or does the fantastic EtherRegen clean up the switch's audio shortcomings?
Please don't tell me to get a TT!

@fredrik222 : so to sum it up, what you are teaching all here with the Ethernet protocol is either it works, or it doesn’t, correct? As long as Zeroes and Ones come as such, we are fine? There is absolutely nothing to gain or lose SQ wise by optimizing the Ethernet in any shape or form?
Is this the reason why when I send a long email to China, the recipient gets the email intact, not missing any words, and not even missing any punctuation marks (I.e a comma comes as a dot)? Right? |
IMO, best explanation on what an audio specific switch does (or claims to do, if you are on the zeroes and ones camp) is from Uptone:
‘Truth be told, it was the very first audiophile switch, and very successful. The rest of the manufacturers, took note, and came up with their own switches, often way more expensive. Granted, these audiophile switches obviously do nothing according to the network technicians, so I wonder who buys all these expensive switches 😉
