Why people don't isolate wifi entirely from audio system is a mystery to me, wifi shouldn't exist on audio system network, routers with wifi enabled and then adding another component (switch) is not optimized network for steaming.
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.
