@lmcmalo I wish you could come round to hear my system with its ‘special switch’ and Ethernet RFI filtering. I would give you a demonstration of streaming from Qobuz with the Ethernet signal direct from the router, and then via the special switch and filtering. The difference is stunning, I do this demo a lot to friends and family, none of which have HiFi systems and are inexperienced listeners. They are all amazed by the difference, ‘night and day’ is a commonly used expression.
Once you’d heard this difference you could use your valid experience of designing to help develop even greater products for us all enjoy our streamed music more.
Only problem is, I’m in the UK, but if you’re passing by, please arrange to drop in.
