Using fibre optics to break ground level noise
@kennyc  each setup is different: N.B. I go into the server via Ethernet after double conversion and have no drying up and flattening of the sound as reported by others. I only use a 30 cm stretch of fibre, everything else is ethernet

Am I the only one detesting people who ex cathedra diss equipment of which they have no personal experience whatsoever? Whether it’s envy, churlishness, one-upmanship or simple pigheadedness, it adds nothing but rancour and spite to a conversation...

@goleksiak  If you had at least made the effort of checking Uptone Audio’s website you’d be aware how churlish and uneducated your question is. It filters and isolates analogue noise, if you need more information you now know where to find it. I...

@rivinyl  yes indeed. it is designed to be near the streamer and in most instances benefits from having a switch in front of it.    
Network Switches
@goleksiak  Why o why do,we always get self appointed professors to proselytise on first principles when we discuss network issues. Network issues in audio have nothing to do with error correction, lost bits, sum checking and the digital like. In...

You might consider adding an Uptone Etherregen behind the switch. It’s moat provides substantial reduction of both ground level and RFI/EMI noise. Use your best Ethernet cable between Etherregen  or switch and streamer

Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
I have now installed a Gustard N18 in front of the 10M reclocked Etherregen, using the SFP and going into the Innuos streamer via RJ45. I also just saw that LHY Audio now offers an in box conversion to fibre and reconversion to ethernet. Crazy as ... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
To all re-fuseniks: try the Swiss Digital Fusebox: you‘ll never use an aftermarkwt fuse again.  
What does the audio term 'air' mean?
Assuming proper front ends, i.e. vinyl player and streamer, air is about frquency response and phase coherence. The latter is often considered secondary, hence multiple unit speakers with complex crossovers. In my experience air is best achieved f... 
SUT Interconnects
Shindo and Kondo are known designers of SUTs. In particular Ken Shindo has done wonderful work in this area. The reason I recommended Auditorium23 is that Keith Aschenbrenner is a close associate of Ken Shindo and has substantially adapted and emu... 
Does anyone experience sound improvement from restarting power off and on of DAC?
Seems spurious unless you flush cache in the process. Normally though cache sits in the streamer, not the Dac. And restarting the clock is generally deemed highly counterproductic because of destabilisation.Either way, if it works keep doing it.
