Ethernet Switch- what's the point?

@jon2020 sorry for the confusion, you do need a switch. You do not need a $1200.00 or even $800.00 switch as you are converting from the dirty Ethernet side to clean noiseless fiber. Look at the converters on Amazon and you can do finder (short runs) for unsolder $200.00. 
 

Fiber and be done.

@fredrik222 no one is saying spend thousands of dollars, fiber is cheap. Only person spreading false information is you. Also your grammar is atrocious, and why should you care how anyone spends their hard earned cash? 

@12many I would hardly call it persistence, more like trolling as this is the only subject matter he contributes to. And reading through his archives he is consistently chirping off on it. One trick pony. 

•  i know, that is not the point, the point is to counter all these people are telling people to spends thousands on dollars on things that doesn’t work. So hopefully people don’t go wasting their money. 

@fredrik222 I have seen a range of $1349.00 (recommendation on LHY SW10) and $89.00 on an isolator switch. You should change your moniker to Chicken Little. Again why should you care if I spend $20K on a switch? It is our money not yours. 

Some questions are better asked on other forums where the trolls are kept a bay or are afraid to weigh in for being made fools of. 

Again @fredrik222 you are misrepresenting the facts in this thread. Be careful jumping up and down on that soapbox.

Judging the OP’s system he has a system that is revealing enough if he had an Innuos product. SW-8 will more than likely do it for him or Fiber, then again maybe not.

my brother spent over $3k on his innuous Ethernet switch and it’s much better sound then mine. If you have a expensive setup the innuos is a must hear,

@fredrik222  Cheers, stay on that soapbox buddy. 

What the archives are for. @nonoise warned you this thread would grow legs. 

Actually it is not the case as the Ethernet run is less than 8 inches. Also signal in fiber into my house (frontier) and the 50 feet from the termination in my On Q to my listening room is all fiber. I have 8 inches of ethernet my listening space. 

Also find it interesting that the folks a WBF find this is very beneficial also. Different audience and more receptive.

I think you nailed it.  Converting to digital and back may add more noise than the fiber prevents.  

@thyname first off I am not Earl, Jeff or any other name in your head. You also need to get a sense of humor the joke was Freddy is the bear. I will never address you ever again. The EJDS runs deep in you. 

@12many well that is nice, not sure why you called me out as a good many agree he is a one trick pony. I am sure you learned a lot from this thread.
