USB Switch Upgrade or Not

I think I want to add a usb switch to my Innuos Zenith / PhoenixUBB but, not ready to spend another 4400 for a PhoenixNet’☹️. Has anyone tried other less pricey switches with good results? Someone suggested the LHY SW10. I’m not sure why all the outlets when I would be most likely use only one so, was considering their SW 6. Has anyone tried the SW 6 with Innuos gear or compared the SW 6 to the PhoenixNet?

I assume you meant Ethernet switch and not USB switch. 
I wouldn’t bother. Just use good Ethernet cable.

Hi @hysteve, in my experience a good switch has greatly improved my digital front end.

Standard Netgear = meh

EtherRegen = good

Bonn 8  = good

 

Network Acoustics Tempus = great

JCAT M12 = great

GTT / DeJitterit = great

 

Also a good Ethernet cable as last cable into Streamer or DAC

Additionally, the Network Acoustics Muon Pro filter is very nice.

This is all tried in my system and my findings!

I suggest you check out Kevalin Audio. He has some very good devices for sale, esp. the Wayversa.

I use them in my system. The owner is a very knowledgeable guy.
