Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@lalitk, again: agreed. Given the substantial impact of the 10m clock on the Etherregen as well as the contribution of the Ocxo-switch I am not convinced that mere filtering suffices, though…  
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@lalitk, good analogy, only difference: I prevent muck from coming in rather than water leaking out😇. Scary though how every little bit helps. You‘d think a decent designer could do better!  
Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you!
The OP omits the clock synchronisation in USB that slaves the server to the DAC. A well clocked USB asynchronous connection with a good cable in normal circumstances is superior to Toslink.  
What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?
On analogue cables I highly recommend Auditorium23, the next best thing to Shindo. On digital Sommercables is a great choice  
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@wsrrsw, Glad to hear it‘s working. Although it sounds like overkill, I use an Ethernet isolator (EMO EN70-HD) directly at the streamer for good effect (l.e. after the Etherregen‘s moat) Don‘t know why but it works a treat. If you want to go furt...

correct

9v does have + and - next to each other, therefore allignment with the cable not possible. I use 2 Aaas per cable

@rumi  An electric field inside the battery builds up, pointing from the + terminal to the − terminal. This field opposes the motion of H+ ions — they cannot cross to the + terminal, and the reaction stops. When the terminals are connected by a c...

@gregm, no Sir, no connecting.,Just tape the battery with orientation of signal direction. It creates a,weak electric field which is sufficient

…I wouldn’t presume. Just look atAudioquest pricing….  
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
Again, decisive is what gets to the converter. Latency is not the problem, RFI/EMI, ground level noise and timing errors are. Adding switches helps with those.  
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@vinylvalet Latency in audio applications is not a significant problem, easily addressed by buffering. Clocking accuracy, though is a whole other matter. Your friend clearly works in the digital domain. Analogue/digital conversion takes complete... 
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
@wsrrsw i have had very substantial benefits from reclocking both the Etherregen and the DACs conversion and USB link; as mentioned YMMV. Reclocking and fltering are different things: In addition to reclocking I use a DXE ISO plus filter and an Em... 
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
While YMMV on individual setups, the biggest improvements in my case were the addition of an Antelope clock and Zerozone LPS to the Etherregen as wellas adding an LHYAUDIO Ocxo switch with built in LPS in front of it., I don‘t believe that a mere ...

Audiosciencereview doesn‘t listen, measures the wrong things and is frightfully opinionated
