Switch won’t clean anything up. Keep the switch out of your audio system. Run a long cable from switch then connect it to LAN galvanic isolator and from the isolator use a short high quality Ethernet cable into your Lina.
Where to Place Network Switch
Good Day Audio Fans,
I will soon receive a network switch. I am getting an Ansuz Power Switch for ethernet distribution and noise reduction. I currently mainline my ethernet from the router to my dCS Lina DAC & Master Clock. Do you think it will make a difference if I put the Ansuz on the Router side of the ethernet cable versus the DAC side of the ethernet cable? I’m thinking if there is no difference, then I could put the switch by the router, and plug in my home theater equipment (TV, AV Receiver & Blu-Ray player) as well. The home theater room is just a wall away from the router but the main audio system is another floor away with a 50ft ethernet cable.

@pgaulke60 the way I read it is do no harm was their goal. Hopefully they accomplished it. But once again if you think a switch will function as a filter and clean up your signal, it won’t. Cleanest way to implement the switch would be to have it plugged into another circuit and out of your system. As I mentioned earlier. |
