@lalitk Bingo; but I suspect that given so many up have less than perfect rooms (the most important and perhaps most neglected component) if if it sounds great for a person (he, she, they, them, x, xemself (saw that one last week)) then that's the ticket. The JCat and Grimm for me were the Brass rings. Make the Grimm a gold one. Next up for me is a try out of Edgar Y. Choueiri's BAACH system. Box is waiting to be unpacked.
New Network Acoustics Tempus switch
Network Acoustics which are known for their great performance on noise filtering (ENO / MUON series) have launched a new switch: https://www.networkacoustics.com/shop/tempus-ethernet-switch/
There is also a review at: https://the-ear.net/review-hardware/tempus-is-everything/ which sounds really very promising. So I decided to get one 😃
Have others already experience with it?

A very good review has just been published here: https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/re...views-digital-cable/network-acoustics-tempus/ |
@fastfreight Thanks for posting all your findings. Can you comment on whether the Muon made any difference downstream of the SwitchX? Was there any difference in having it there vs direct SwitchX->streamer -- this would be an interesting delta if the SwitchX negates the need for it compared to the JCat.... Thanks again. |
PSA: Just a balancing comment that many network engineers and others who understand packet based communications believe that these network enhancing devices do not have any effect on sound quality. And if there is any "dirt" in a signal there are far less expensive ways to address that theoretical possibility - i.e. fiber. Not here to debate, just to notify those starting out in audio that these devices are, if anything, well less of a priority than quality base components like preamp, amp, speakers, DAC... |
