Update on good Ethernet switch

ASI mentioned before I didnot want to say the brand until I heard the Ethernet switch not only after 300 hours which was recommended having a OX over controlled clock , 

and with what myself always do the weak link on any audio component starts with the stock power cord , for minimal monies the Pangea using Cardas grade 1 copper 6-9s. Awg14 sig,Mk2 , and getting rid of the 50 cent bottle neck fuse I put in a 1.25amp 20mm L ,slow blow synergistic purple fuse  these increase fidelity at least 5-7% the switch itself At least 5%  if you know the name Jays audio for transports ,his other company LHY Audio  the SW8 Ethernet switch for   $595 nothing has all this in a nice machined aluminum case , even the uptone ether regen or Sonore deluxe  using a with fiber optic which btw lessens the realism imo both were used witha Sbooster2 LPS , ,theSW8 Ethernet switch  is a great buy ,and if you add a decent power cord  and upgrade the fuse you  will be rewarded further , 7 of us reviewed this and 6 out of 7 thought it was a noticeable improvement vs the others  there were2 other brands which were more ,that were not even that good and had switch mode pS

Ethernet sends a sine wave, however, depending on the speed, it could be as high as 4 simultaneously waves.

Huh? Word salad.

Ethernet standards, regardless of speed over what’s called an Ethernet cable (twisted pair) has building common more noise rejection, that handles most noise,

Word salad. What are you trying to say?

most music services that provides per song streaming actually downloads a large part, if not the entire song (Qobuz does the entire song)

As you know, I've previously shown an experiment that disproves that claim, so please stop repeating it.

... when ’one trick pony’ trolls like this come on forums and denounce the value of certain hifi gear based on their 'experience' elsewhere, argue endlessly and defensively, i believe the net result is actually more interest is developed in the thing they are putting down ...

That's true in my case. Once I got serious about audio streaming, I had an ethernet line installed to run to my streamer and I've been very pleased with the results. But I may try one of these switches on a 30-day return guarantee - after all, I've been surprised with audio experiment results in the past. But until I have that experience, I don't challenge what others say they hear.

I do think there's nothing like a hard wired network. There's also nothing like a pro who knows how to snake wires - I've been amazed at what they've been able to do in my house. It's really not that expensive and it eliminates a lot of potential issues.
