Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ
This one will probably invite some withering mockery, but I will ask....
I only stream, and my streamer (Bryston BDP) is fed with an ethernet cable that runs back to my router. Literally back to my router; there are enough output jacks on the router that I have a long run to the streamer and no ethernet switch in the chain (or the house system for that matter). (There is an Eno filter right before the streamer).
I happen to OWN a nice LHY ethernet switch. I am assuming that there is no reason to use it in this configuration, that is, assuming there are noisier switches, and less noisy switches, there is still no net benefit of adding any switch to this chain. But maybe, just maybe, in the metaphysics of electrons that I do not understand, there is some reason why a nice switch prior to the streamer accomplishes something (in theory...I get that I can A/B test and try to fool myself whether I can hear a difference). For the first person with a correct answer, I will mail a nice $600 switch to the address you specify! (JK)
@fredrik222 Yawn. I see you are back at the office today. Your boss has nothing for you to do? Really? This is ironic: A lot of people really suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect in this forum, also known as cognitive bias, or the less you know about a topic the more you think you know about said topic. This post of yours seems to best describe you. |
@tonywinga lots people don’t like what I have to say, but I doubt they would say I don’t know what I am talking about. Same can’t be said for you, who can’t post anything to support your fanatical and fantastical claims. |
@nkphoto not everyone have relevant experience, and I did answer the question posted by OP, and immediately got attacked by people who have no relevant knowledge. But I guess when I am attacked I am ruining the vibe, black ain’t black, and white isn’t white, am I right?
get well soon |
@fredrik222 You seem to have this delusion that you are an expert on this topic. As far as we know, you are not. You have never posted a technical article that you have published in the appropriate journal nor shown established credentials to verify your claims. You have not even posted an audio system to show any relevant experience with audio nor have you shared your experiences, if any listening to and comparing various network switches in a competent audio system. You just copy/paste other peoples work and then make comments with a spin on it to support your claims. You're just a duck in a storm- "quack, quack, quack." |
