That's not curiosity. Is rather, a subtle questioning of intelligence.
Research does wonders when you don't know the items/upgrades discussed.
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

I will never visit rjmcinnis to listen to his system. Tend to keep away from narrow minded people. Lolz back. If @audioman58 ever invited me, I'd take the (long) flight, and be there in an instant (or a few instants...) |
I have bought two standard network switches: Cisco 2960, and a Cisco SG110D The Cisco 2960 I added the Audiophool upgrade. With the Cisco SG110D, I added a Fidelity Audio C4Mk2 clock. Both under $500. They have Plixir Elite linear power supplies running them with Statement DC cables, and Mad Scientist power cables.

I had a problem where I was unable to run ethernet to my system. One suggestion was using a wifi extender, and then its ethernet out to my streamer. I did this successfully, and it was an improvement over wifi transmission to the streamer. Since the improvement was audible, I then bought mid priced/reasonable quality ethernet cables. Meicord Opal on the modem/router end, and Triode Wire Labs Freedom on the streamer end. From what I read on different forums, your best ethernet cables should be last in the chain. |
Wifi router to optical adapter via Ethernet. I have a couple of Teradak linear power supplies. One I’ll use on my modem. They are decent power supplies. Certainly have an okay reputation in audio. I will probably look to get one of these at the end of the year (Puritan PSM156 first). |
