I recently bought a CA streamer that after week stopped recognizing my NAS. CA told me to change the switch and that solved it. Not a sonic issue, but obviously an important one
Does ethernet switch quality matter when using fiber connection?
From my understanding noise should be eliminated once it reaches the fiber cable since glass will carry the pure signal
With this in mind, should one disregard a more expensive switch such as ETHERRegen when streaming with fiber in favor of a > $100 switch.
Is it still worth investing in an audiophile grade switch and if so why?
