Network Switches

I am old and lost when it comes to this switch stuff. Ted, at SR, spoke to me about how incredible it is in his reference system going bonkers over it.

I have my router connected to my Antipodes EXCX.

I will contact Antipodes and repost back.

$2300 for the SR switch. Does one have to pay that much $$$ for this gizmo?

In less than a year SR will come out with a SEMK2 for $2K more $$$.

What switch to buy?

Is there a better way for digital playback than my $100K Antipodes K50?
 

Running  Sablon Ethernet and XLR digital into Weiss 501.

An on purpose typo, $17.5K

 

Would like to know a formula that would outrun it so I could sell it

 

“BTW, I am quite intrigued by your Manger S1 speakers, what made you decide to go with powered speakers over passive ones in Manger speaker line up? “

I feel powered speakers are the future. Stereophile rated A+ for the powered and B for the passive 🙊🙈🙉. I run Teo cables which I think are the best cables on the planet but their SC’s are very high $$$ so XLR is my go to wire.

 

I love the K50 but is there a must cheaper way with all these switches going on in this thread?
