Network Switches

You might consider adding an Uptone Etherregen behind the switch. It’s moat provides substantial reduction of both ground level and RFI/EMI noise. Use your best Ethernet cable between Etherregen  or switch and streamer

Why o why do,we always get self appointed professors to proselytise on first principles when we discuss network issues. Network issues in audio have nothing to do with error correction, lost bits, sum checking and the digital like. Instead the problems arise frm ground  level noise travelling ALONG the bits as well as RFI/EMI cable incursions affecting timing and shape of the analogly transmitted signal of the sine wave and thereby affecting the subsequent D/A conversion at the DAC level.

And refrain from commenting on things you have not listened to…

I suggest you spend a bit of time on the analogue transmission of digital data and its problems in time critical audio applications…

@rivinyl 

yes indeed. it is designed to be near the streamer and in most instances benefits from having a switch in front of it.

@goleksiak 

If you had at least made the effort of checking Uptone Audio’s website you’d be aware how churlish and uneducated your question is. It filters and isolates analogue noise, if you need more information you now know where to find it.

I will not further respond to your posts
